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

What can we do?

None of them really explained the user experience, and how different instances might affect it, let alone the existence of the local and global feeds and how your instance choice affects those

I almost never use the local feeds. Technically my instance choice does affect them, but I could switch to any other random Lemmy instance and the experience would be 99.99% the same for me.

To me it's not forks vs. chopsticks, it's someone looking at a fork with 3 tines instead of 4 and getting paralyzed not being able to decide between the two.
