Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

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

Has software usage really gotten to the point where the average person can't handle being given a choice about anything? Where it's just too much effort to do anything more than mindlessly click on whatever is presented to them? 🤦
Unfortunately yes. And there is no going back.
Is there even a point to which one you pick? I just picked .kbin because I liked the UI, and when that fell apart I moved to .world mostly at random.
Is there really a large difference between them?
I picked ani because I don't have to sub to every anime community, I can just go to the Local view and get everything I need.
That's exactly what I did, lol. Kbin seemed intriguing but didn't last. I did try to look and get an idea about different lemmy instances but found very little info about any of them except for the 2 or 3 "infamous" ones, so I just went with .world, which seems fine to me.
I originally picked infosec but not too many communities were federated. Picked lemm.ee because it was easy to memorize and had a solid admin
World has no piracy communities they are blocked, kbin had microbloggings (mastodon) if you liked that, mbin kbin.earth is fork if kbin, still around. Piefed has the most potential.
I picked world cuz it was by far the biggest at the time
These people must have been paralyzed with fear when they had to choose an email provider.
I doubt they even know there's anything other than gmail.
In the U.S.? Yes, absolutely.
