That was my initial reaction as well, everything is VERY developer focused and so "normies" won't like the site if it stays that way. Actually, the whole fediverse thing is a complicated mess that only devs truly understand how to navigate.
Now, we do have to understand that this is very very early and stuff like this is to be expected. No product was perfect at the beginning stages and specially the UI takes a backseat.
That said, I think the UX is instrumental for kbin or lemmy to truly take over and appeal to the masses.
Then again, I'm a UX/UI designer so I might be biased ;)
