The UX here needs to drastically improve for more people to see it as an viable alternative.

I use Sync for mobile app and Photon for a web interface. But I think most people are not okay with having to search for these options.

Exactly that yes, it took me a while to find Photon, and I'm someone that's passionate about tech and works in tech.

Your average new user is going to give up long before that and never use the site again.

It's also confusing to pick which instance to start with (users need to be guided more)

About the instance choice, I believe it's easier to get used to since people use e-mail and Mastodon is already quite popular.

I mean, the web UI looks clean enough for me. 🤷‍♂️

For you yes, I'm also okay with it. Bit it's not great as smooth and nice as what the vast majority of people are used to
