I found a super simple way to refer people to Lemmy.
One simple message:
Try out the Reddit alternative called Lemmy https://phtn.app/
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install
This way a user can just click, start seeing content and what Lemmy is about, and if they want to comment etc. they will be asked to create an account with lemm.ee selected as a default.
This should fix most of the onboarding UX issues, and eliminate the decision fatigue of trying to figure out which instance is best.
I think their should be a list of prechecked instances that are randomly selected
No. That will create more confusion. Keep it simple.
I mean it will say ”join [randomly selected preapproved instance here]” its no harder but it helps keep the fediverse decentralised.
I read it wrong. If it’s pre-selected should be good.
Basically what https://join-lemmy.org/ does by default
