Make one instance the default one. Then introduce others gradually. Too confusing for first timers. I was scratching my head the first time.

A lemmy instance that takes less than 5 minutes to load the thumbnails would be a good start ...
What is this in response to? The instance I'm on is reasonably quick. A delay of maybe 1s to 2s (at most) when loading new content, and often less.
I have made accounts on lemm.ee lemmy.world and feddit.de trying to find an instance that is not slow af. However, none of those instances loads thumbnails with satisfactory speed. In comparison, reddit thumbnails always loaded almost instantly for me. Scrolling lemmy simply is not fun when it takes several minutes to load the content every time I go to the next page
I guess keep trying other instances? I don't have that experience. I hope you find an instance that works better for you.
Thank you!

A huge stepping stone would be to give users a better understanding of how the fediverse actually works. I’m a tech guy and I was pretty confused the first week I joined. I think most people here are tech people.
I don’t know what the solution to this problem is, but I believe it would lead to a much more consistent stream of newcomers.
I honestly think reddit got way too big and that led to its downfall, but yes growth would be good and it's a good question.
"If you make it, they will come".
It maight not be fast but there is huge potential from what I have experienced so far.

The goals of federated social media and corporate social media. Unlike siloed corporate social media, the fediverse platforms are not meant to compete with one another for being the 'top dog' so to speak. The idea is just diversity amongst the platforms and different options for people with different preferences. Since the fediverse is not concerned with revenue or appealing to a venture capitalist, competition is unimportant and I hope it stays that way.
