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

What can we do?

They don’t understand what federation is

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):
