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

What can we do?

    In the early years fo Reddit, those wouldn’t exist either. You have to start with bigger groups (NFL, NHL, etc) and split them if they ever get big enough.

        Discoverability is a serious issue on Lemmy. I’d wager there’s a shitload of people here interested in the big US sports, but unless you know where the community is (and there’s often multiple, and sometimes on instances you’re not linked to), you’re not going to see it.

        There’s just not enough users for any algorithm pushing of obscure communities you might be interested in either.
