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

What can we do?

    Could there be an option for a sorting hat that could either: look at the redditor’s post history and determine a good server for them or simply spin the wheel. Either way would get the lazies shit posting without them having to learn anything about fediverse. I know I would have just spun the wheel.

      I’ve suggested something similar before and got shur down. Just sort people into a Lemmy server either based off their interests or location

      “Nationality France = Lemmy France Server”

      Or

      “What are your interests? Gaming = Gaming Lemmy server”

        Shut down as in someone shut down the website or people telling you that the idea is trash?

          Shut down as in ‘that’s a terrible idea for the fediverse’

          If it was public & randomly sorted to the fediverse Lemmy servers, I don’t see how it would be an issue

            Do you know why? It sounds to me like a great addition to the fediverse.
