So, I was trying to use the official "web app" for Lemmy, and, once again, it's just a link to Github. I'm no programmer and I just want to use the app, but have no clue what all those files are for. The tutorials on YouTube are like 1 hours long and are intended for programmers. It kind of happens more and more (links to github) and it gets me anxious every time. I am not a digital idiot at all, but this lacks information. Thanks!

What do you find obtuse?

They do a lot of things. That has inherent complexity. Hiding complexity has a cost too - a loss of features, accessibility of them or information.
