    I think better UI by default would be much more important. Right now the biggest issue is probably that people look at lemmy and find it intimidating due to its messy UI.

      No. It not the UI. It is the pick a “Feterated Instance” stuff before you even know what it is. No one knows those words. It should just work for new users. Instances and federation should be presented later.

          That’s what I did. Then lemmy.world got slow, I found a small nearby server with great local content, moved there (took days to subscribe the groups again). Then the server went offline, now back to lemmy.world, and I have no idea if the server will be ever back again.

        I think better communication about what federation is would help. I keep seeing folks say it’s like email, but that assumes the average person understands how email works.

        We should start describing it as “like if Reddit, Digg, and Hacker News could see and comment on each other’s content”
