The sign up process is just too confusing for most people too. I tried evangelizing it when musk took over and that was everyones response. Need like a temporary instance for new accounts that you can transfer out of once you've got your sea legs
Counterpoint: This tiny little hurdle keeps out the lazy and ignorant.
That's how I feel right now. I don't need the Fediverse to replace reddit and Twitter, I want it to be a refuge from the commercialized crap! The people who can't be bothered to figure out Lemmy or Mastodon can stay right where they are!
Exactly, lemmy feels like my kind of people. Going against proprietary stuff, against privacy nightmares. It's the fact that I can relate to people here that makes it such a good replacement for commercial alternatives.
