Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 months agoUnexplained choices are extremely frustrating and cause confusion. It would be awesome if people could magically choose the right instance for themselves without being aware that they are making a choice, but that just isn’t realistic.

I think we should have a Lemmy landing page, that should help you choose a instance.
Ask you to select a few topics you’re interested in, if you want to see political content and/or NSFW content.
And then make a suggestion (randomly from one of a few fitting instances)
Once a user gets used to the platform they can always switch

Easily switching is the real hurdle, because there are a massive number of reasons that someone would want to switch. For example I started on kbin and switched when the instance died.
