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

What can we do?

    Everyone gets signed up to that initially and those who want to transfer to another instance afterwards can.

    That’s the second big problem hidden in this model: account migration doesn’t currently work (nor do I know of an ETA for feature release).

    Not to mention the first problem: this heavily promotes centralization which is what caused this whole mess in the first place.

      Absolute centralisation caused the mess. My suggestion is just initial centralisation. It lets people get active with the platform while they figure out the basics rather than paralysing them with options up front.
