It needs to have a much easier way to rapidly suggest a good instance to make an account on without trying to explain all the details of Federation to new users. Just one click and done. They can learn about Federation afterwards.
Maybe it can suggest an app and other "getting started" stuff through a system message of some kind, like how Reddit delivers notices via it's /u/Reddit bot.
Definitely there should be an updated list of apps as the first recommended app (Jerboa) is like... Pre-alpha. Constant authentication issues for the one day I used it, plus other usability issues galore.
I only found any mention of Connect for Lemmy on Lemmy itself and it's a far superior app, used it ever since.
