It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

The default web interface is very poorly designed and looks uninviting. Sure, there are great alternative interfaces but people will be turned off before they could check them out. Also, it's usually the first thing you see when someone's sharing a link.
There not being an official app is also something that will confuse non-tech users.
Disagree. I find it rather clean and functional, even on mobile. Maybe because I liked old reddit. Maybe younger people are used to Instagram-like feeds so they don't like the compact forum style.
Wait what? I love the look currently

A redesign is on the way. It will use Leptos with DaisyUI.
Jerboa is official.
Is Jerboa official? I used it at the start but it seemed to just stop getting developed. Myself and plenty of others have since moved on to other 3rd party apps. I'm using Voyager now.

"Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers"
on the way in a, just set off in a row boat from half way around the world, kind of way
Indeed an official app would ease the user on-boarding.
I had to read through some articles first to get the concept of the fediverse first and the look out for my home instance. That’s way too techy
We need a guide to send perspective users to signup through Lemm.ee and voyager to onboard them.
Original content could entice them to more willingly join Lemmy.
I thought Jerboa was the official app.
