I think better UI by default would be much more important. Right now the biggest issue is probably that people look at lemmy and find it intimidating due to its messy UI.

Thats part of why almost everyone joins lemmy.world. Easy rec.

Not even marketers love to market.

“Listen bro, I have this new idea, bro”
