Easy Onboarding for new Lemmy users (lemm.ee)

I found a super simple way to refer people to Lemmy.

One simple message:

Try out the Reddit alternative called Lemmy https://vger.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.

Sadly lemm.ee federates with both lemmygrad and hexbear, which could turn off new users. I think blaze's criteria works best for absolute beginners (sopuli for EU, discuss.online for US).

I don't know if it would actually drive people off. Most people can handle their ideas being challenged. I'd be more worried that they might join in..
