I would expect the big jump to come when people who are barely engaged with this whole thing try to open Apollo or Sync or whatever in a few weeks, seeing it doesn't work, then spending 5 minutes trying to use the official app before getting frustrated and googling "reddit alternative"
then they'll come to Lemmy and be just as frustrated with a confusing new architecture, buggy website, and apps in their infancy.
Maybe, but I think people overstate this. Reddit's desktop UI and official app still confuse and upset me. Frankly the on-boarding to Lemmy is easier if anything
I found it as an alternative and haven't had any issues on a mobile chromium browser. Sign up was fairly easy too. Maybe that's because I was directed to a federated offshoot with less logins.
