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

I agree with you, but at the same time if there aren't enough users, small and niche sublemmys will never grow and have enough content to be interesting.
Once upon a time Reddit used to be just a single subreddit. And it was fine. Lemmy already has enough users for separate subreddits to be actually kinda viable, even if they are not too active.
We'll be fine.
