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

What can we do?

I don't get how people get hung on choosing a server when people have been chosing a starter Pokémon since 1998 without any major issues. And you get just about the "same" amount of practical info.

Really, what tiktok does to a generation...

Picking a starter is easy. Everyone knows that pokémon is a game about collecting creatures, and everyone knows what fire/ water/ grass is, so no one's gonna be stumped. Not everyone is gonna immediately know what an instance is, or what it does, or what it's there for

At least a blåhaj is kind of like a pokémon.

Im a french canadian plumber, nothing scream "have you tried unplugging and pluggin it again" more than that, yet here i am?

The people still on reddit will die with it, it's where they made their home and there will always be a reason to stay.

Everyone has heard of fire, water and grass, sure. Do they have any idea what that means in the Pokemon universe? I certainly hadn't.

Not everyone is gonna immediately know what an instance is, or what it does, or what it's there for

You know how you might use gmail and your friend might use outlook and you can just email no problem? Like that.
