 Bluesky did nothing for years, we had plenty of a headstart. We don't need to make excuses up for ourselves, improving the onboarding journey is such low hanging fruit, and aiming to onboard normal folk is a good thing.

 I know, I'm totally agree with you: Bluesky had a slow start, leaving room for projects like Nostr. 
Improving onboarding can be addressed through several practical strategies:

1. Intuitive Interface: Create a simple, understandable design with clear instructions to guide new users step by step.

2. Setup Automation: Minimize initial setup, such as by simplifying cryptographic key generation and management.

3. Interactive Tutorials: Offer built-in guides or walkthroughs that show users how to use key features.

4. Community and Support: Create welcoming spaces for questions and answers, such as forums or chatbots, to help newcomers.

5. Multichannel Access: Ensure that the app or service works across platforms, making it easier for anyone to access the network.

But without centralized coordination, I see it difficult for this to happen any time soon.

 Could you expand on what you see as the low-hanging fruit?
