or another way to ask it, what made fedi easier for you to adopt? I don’t think the answer is better ways of explaining how federation exactly works, because no matter how good of an analogy you can make, most users don’t care and just want to know how to get started

EDIT: I guess I’ll go first, for something like Mastodon I think encouraging people to use a client like pinafore.social or Tusky instead of going directly to the website of the instance would help stop people from confusing themselves by getting redirected between instances. Same for Lemmy as better clients start to pop up

    I definitely like the people and interactions here way more than on Reddit. However, there are clearly a lot of technical challenges to solve with server management and the general UI experience. I often get confused on how things work, especially with regards to federation.

    Hopefully, these issues get ironed out over the next few months or years and I can safely call Lemmy a great Reddit replacement.
