It's weird to me that so many people have a hard time figuring out Lemmy; honestly for the average user, the process is:
- Join big instance
- Browse and search from there
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
Well yes but have you considered that the game is fucking amazing
