Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

    Why is “drama” on Lemmy always highly exaggerated by people?

    “Endless wars of who federates with who”. What is that person even talking about and who the fuck would even care as a normal user?

      Really early on like right after the API fuckfest, there was a large influx of users who picked servers based on whatever. As a result, servers defederated and there was a lot of drama as a result.

      Though that said I haven’t heard much about defederating in some time.

      When half the posts in your feed are “X instance bad” people get just tired and go out.

      It has happened to me sometimes a meaningful part of my feed was just people brigading about some instance they don’t like. It’s ridiculous.
