MODERATORS
Until these are built into the UI, how is a user supposed to find them when they just want to start using Lemmy? They don't search for such sites, they browse all. The reason sites like reddit work is because they cater to the non-technical crowd.
You are thinking like a developer and not like someone worried about the user experience, this is not a dig but a key part of the problem. The root cause of users not coming to Lemmy in the thousands is the UX. Fix it and normies can use it and post content themselves.
By going to /communities and subscribing to the communities that might be of interest?
Seriously, there is no excuse to justify browsing by all.
Yeah but which community on which instance, seriously are you trying to seem so dense? How to make this easy for normies?
People come to lemmy.world but the best community for topic XYZ might not be here so this is the whole point of ALL.
Just because you don't do something doesn't mean there is no point, your viewpoint is obviously a minority view.
Check "All" to see all communities and subscribe to the ones that might be interesting to you.
