    Yes, I have Voyager myself (little mouse icon) and I’m using it, but still I find it quite confusing for non-tech people. I try to explain. I’m a High School teacher in graphic design and crossmedia. I work mostly with teenagers between 14-18yo. They can work very well with the software, but don’t try to explain the technology behind it. They don’t wanna know or they don’t care, as long as the software works and the program does what they want it to do. I also spend years educating adults to work with new technology. When I look at the Voyager interface, I see: Home, All, Local. I see lemmy.wtf; feddit.uk; feddit.org; lemmy.world, etc… Maybe people think that I’m just crazy and/or overreacting, but I can guarantee you that alot of people don’t understand all the tech things behind it. Only 0.1% of the users of FB, Insta, TikTok, etc… have a clue (or are interested) in the tech behind the apps.

        Yep. To be clear… for me that’s OK, bc I understand it, but I showed it to my wife and daughter and they were thinking… “that looks complicated”. So… if we would be able to mask the @xxxxx things, it would look more “simple” and clean.
