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

No, it isn't.
The UX is fine. It's clean, fast, and functional. Anyone who is too fancy for "old Reddit" can stay on new Reddit with the bots and Xers. They'd just come over and be nothing but insufferable anyway.
o.o
Multiple front ends and themes are available. In the end, we're here for the conversation, not fancy graphics, sounds, or CSS trash.
If someone can't get past picking a server or simple graphics, the likelyhood of them being any benefit here is minimal. The more is not always the merrier.
Half the fun of lemmy is all the frontends, apps, and customization options in general sprinkeld about
And then different servers even have different options so you're not stuck with one person's view of what things look like.
I was kind of upset that Kbin went under, lots of cool features, same data.
It got forked as mbin tho at least
The UX is objectively bad, it breaks most good design principles
Which of the seven primary UX design principles would you like to complain about?
Give me some details here.
What UX? At least my instance have like 5 different forms to access, in the browser, then you have the apps too. There's no way all of those UX are not good for you
That's easily fixable by using a third-party app such as Voyager (or on the web on wefwef.app)
So does old reddit but its also the only version of the site I find usable. UX people can have absurdly lopsided priorities.
