    The default web interface is very poorly designed and looks uninviting. Sure, there are great alternative interfaces but people will be turned off before they could check them out. Also, it’s usually the first thing you see when someone’s sharing a link.

    There not being an official app is also something that will confuse non-tech users.

      A redesign is on the way. It will use Leptos with DaisyUI.

      Jerboa is official.

      Disagree. I find it rather clean and functional, even on mobile. Maybe because I liked old reddit. Maybe younger people are used to Instagram-like feeds so they don’t like the compact forum style.

      Indeed an official app would ease the user on-boarding.

      I had to read through some articles first to get the concept of the fediverse first and the look out for my home instance. That’s way too techy

        We need a guide to send perspective users to signup through Lemm.ee and voyager to onboard them.

        Original content could entice them to more willingly join Lemmy.
