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

What can we do?

    This is my thought… Don’t hide it, really, more like toss a blanket over that part while people get settled. Most will stick with the defaults (whether a single default like lemmy.world or regional defaults like lemmy.ca), but they’ll get the option if that’s something they want to change later (I do wish there was a way to move instances rather than having to make a new account, that might also help improve adoption… “Just go with this one while you settle in and move when you know where you want to go”)
