This reddit post likely has tens if not hundreds of thousands of views, look at the top comment.

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

What can we do?

Ah Lemmy. Still full of comments from smug assholes pretending their lack of sonder is the good kind, and if they don't understand something it's cause it's worthless and pointless while their knowledge is the most important.

Yeah, there are other reasons than the UX/UI and the screenshot even shows it.

it feels like old reddit

As someone who exclusively used old.reddit.com, this isn't actually a bad thing.

Also apps for the mobile experience, and I want to say alexandrite for the desktop experience?

"feels like old reddit" is a weird way to say "it feels like new reddit, but doesn't leak ram, doesn't take as much or more processing power as AI does to run, and interjects ads randomly into the feeds"

I'm not getting what the UX problems are, and if you change things aren't there just going to be new problems with the changes? I think the default experience is a lot better than Reddit at least.

we can redesign the on onboarding process.

🛑 stop explaining new terms 🛑 fuck infinite list of random names with anime girls (what do you want me to do,read!?)

Make it like a map and turn instances into buildings (or gardens/circle/doesnt matter). Show some stats like how big, who i can talk to, topic. Gamify the experience so the fatigue turns into curiousity.

I’m working on a lemmy app. Will be UI focused!
