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

If I understand you right, you're saying that you support making software like Lemmy accessible for users of all types. I agree completely.
A little unrelated, but "intelligence" is not a singular thing and nobody is "intelligent" or "not intelligent". Also, because we each have our own limitations, we're not really qualified to evaluate the abilities of another person since we tend to reference ourselves in doing so. IQ is now increasingly seen as not fit for purpose by academics and professionals of education. And all this without mentioning IQ's history is in the support of eugenics. So if the experts are abandoning the idea of IQ, we can do the same and stop beating each other over the heads with it. Then we can get on with focussing on accessibility, which as you say is where our priorities should be.
