Too much friction, and that's really bad UX.

And now you have to explain to people why the default UI sucks. I tried to promote https://p.lemmy.world/ to people, and they tell me to get lost with that dodgy virus link.

    Don't link p.lemmy.world. it's well over a year out of date.

    phtn.app probably looks a bit less suspicious, and also lets you use any Lemmy/Piefed instance.

    You could say it as "phtn.app is a web portal for the fediverse" or something like that because the concept of web apps is confusing to many

    That's just fine. Don't worry yourself too much. I don't know about everyone else, but I only want the people open to making a switch here. If you're so put off by trying something new that you aren't willing to give it a chance, then I'm not going to be begging for you to join my community.
