Here's why more people won't switch to Lemmy.
(vlemmy.net)
I told somebody I know who knew about Reddit's API changes about Lemmy. He has a master's degree in Computer Science and works as a software engineer. But then, he told me that it's too confusing to get into, even for someone like him. This is great feedback and I hope that these issues will be fixed in the coming months.
It's weird to me that so many people have a hard time figuring out Lemmy; honestly for the average user, the process is:
Searching for communities could use a bit of work to make it easier (for example, I shouldn't have to have the full community link to search for one from a federated instance if nobody on my instance has subscribed; why aren't community lists updated automatically?) but the basic experience is pretty easy to get into

Choosing a server is often the hardest step. That’s why you should send the signup page of your fav instance to your friends and not the official lemmy page.
