There is a reason such a large Parr of Lemmy is developers. There’s no confusion signing up for the developers. Federations and servers and instances are all crazy jargon to regular people. Although we may not want all regular types here, having some more regular people to balance out all the high IQ techies could make things more fun.
Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

Yea getting into Lemmy is confusing. I only use sync because it’s easier, I have no idea how to even access it on desktop. It definitely needs some QoL improvements before I can really start recommending it to people

Tbf I think it takes just a little web litteracy to understand the fediverse. I know I’m a developper, so I tried explaining it to my bro and he got it on the first try.

To access it on desktop, just open the browser and type your server’s URL (in your case, lemmy.world)
I guess we have to roll back from “apps for everything”, or else many people might genuinely not know how to access their instance.

There are people who don’t realize that reddit is a website. Stew on that for a minute.

Is it available on desktop? Also, the interface is not ahint enough for a Reddit dweller

Reddit also only has a Desktop site if I am correct.
Jerboa looks very similar to some classic Reddit apps and is in my opinion very well featured.
