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

Are there endless wars? A lot of people don't like .ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear and they're defederated by a lot of instances, but that's not really a hot war. Outside of that most drama seems to be about certain mod/admin decisions. But that kind of feedback loop is by design. People are supposed to have opinions on whether they think instances are well run and aligns with what they're looking for...and if it doesn't align, that would be a good reason to switch instances. I see more fretting over how to make Lemmy more popular than arguments about instances.
