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

What can we do?

    To access it on desktop, just open the browser and type your server’s URL (in your case, lemmy.world). It’s not some special protocol, it’s a regular site.

    I guess we have inevitably reached the “apps for everything” point, after which people become uncomfortable just typing something into the browser.

    Cross-platform desktop Lemmy app, anyone?

        Is it available on desktop? Also, the interface is not flashy enough for a Reddit dweller

          Reddit also only has a Desktop site if I am correct.

          Jerboa looks very similar to some classic Reddit apps and is in my opinion very well featured.

            Fair! We just shouldn’t expect Jerboa to be a Lemmy flagship for laymen. Some would like it, though.
