I found a super simple way to refer people to Lemmy.
One simple message:
Try out the Reddit alternative called Lemmy https://phtn.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.
Don’t recommend Voyager as a desktop client to new users. It just looks like a stretched mobile app, and the UX on desktop is piss poor. Just go with the default Lemmy UI, or Photon.
Fair I’ll rather point to https://phtn.app/
Id say just recommend Photon. It works well on both mobile and desktop. I love voyager but two very different uis is going to confuse new users.
I use Alexandrite on my laptop and really like it
