Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?

I found a beautiful web client for Lemmy that I wish was the default experience. It would surely help Lemmy in gaining popularity.
here's the link: https://phtn.app/
This I like, it solved many of the issues. I wish it was the default.
with was the default too.
something in the same direction can be found under https://blorpblorp.xyz/
Thanks so much! I was using m.lemmy.world, and while it improves most things I struggle with a touch interface on a desktop. Your recommendation is great!
Edit: It seems this has a few teething issues. I'll see if I can describe them well enough to provide bug reports for. It would be great if this worked well enough for the average user.
Thanks for the tip Photon is great!
I use it with Alexandrite as well. Those alternative clients really made a difference in my experience on desktop.
