Poster stops before asking the why question as, deep down, they already know the answer

    Is there anything to suggest the user is a Marxist, much less a tankie? They just seem new to the Fediverse.

      The first hit with Searx for ‘lemmy’ is https://join-lemmy.org , so far so good. Then you have two buttons ‘Join a Server’ ‘See All Servers’.

      I’m new, dafuq is a server? And why would I want to join one? I just want to Lemmy.

      Why are there two options? Couldn’t I have all the options together? Are some servers better than others? Why do I want a server, I still don’t know what it is. Why don’t these people talk to these people? Do I want to talk to them? Yes/no/why.

      The onboarding is still very confusing. I am OK with Lemmy at its current size, many want to see substantial growth (I’m OK with that too). For that to happen I think the documentation needs to be easier to follow. Lay out how and why things work in an easily parsed way.

      Things have settled quite a bit since the Reddit API fiasco but it is still a bit of a clusterfuck. I’m posting from my very stable main, but my first 3 accounts are lost to the ether. .fmhy, latte.is.not.coffee, and I can’t remember the third.

      Sorry to jump on your post, I just did so because I agree, and for visibility. I promise to eat off a Trencher for dinner as way of apology.
