Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.
What can we do?

I’m fine with that while it lasts. Having millions of active users would increase the feed, but it’s not going to increase the likelihood of me talking to anyone smart
Agreed. Also if we’re being honest servers would probably start crashing left right and center if ten million redditors decided to join next week. The software still needs time to mature, so slow and steady growth is actually perfect for right now.
I use Stealth with the express intent of not contributing to Reddit (there are no ads on Stealth) while consuming their server’s resources. It’s a sort of protest in its own way. Especially since those niche interest subs are the only way I could quickly get information about the community without having to scroll through discord servers— hell, in Lemmy-Kbin most of them are run by bots reposting from Reddit, and there is no way I can manage or advertise my own magazine, what with my busy schedule in my university.
You could also use revanced and patch the reddit apk on android.
No adds etc.
Well, one of the reasons why I used 3rd party apps to begin with was because the mobile Reddit app was an unoptimized buggy mess for me, which often overheated my phone.
