Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?

They can't use email..?
Haha that’s very true. Same concept as signing up for a specific email provider. Hadn’t really thought of that.
It's literally in the "Introduction" to lemmy (third paragraph):
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/introduction.html
An "introduction" to lemmy that's buried behind clicking through vague smalltext, and not any of the brightly colored buttons enticing you to pick a server.
This is bad UX.
