what's a higher priority: be usable enough to attract users from other platforms or be so decentralised you can't tell which community to post in?
False dichotomy. Lemmy is already usable, and the decentralization is not that high that you can't tell where to post. But if you were posting a more proper form of the question that is not trolling, maintaining a decent level of decentralization is higher priority, as it is one of the foundationally selling attributes of the Fediverse. You can add connecting tissues and UX improvements over that, but if you abandon that you are not too different from Mozilla, and become not too different from the anti-social networks this was born to serve as an alternative to.
By whose standard?
If Lemmy is usable why is it dying?

just look at the stats ??
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats&months=48 The monthly stats don't look too bad to me. The yearly stats are meaningless.
