    I have seen a lot of people complaining that it’s difficult to join lemmy. Just a quick look through join lemmy and testing out a few accounts. It all does it easily.

      Part of it seems to stem from people’s excitement to infodump about how federated social media works.

      That’s relevant and interesting to learn about, but the average person just needs to hear “make and account here and start browsing memes” first.

        Yeah, I’ve spoken to a few people on Reddit who have got themselves bogged down doing background reading where they just need to make the jump and learn as they go. Which is what most of us did.

        When I started, I had accounts on world, ml, and beehaw.

        World seemed fine and a more general instance so stuck with it.
