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!
Yeah GitHub, are they trying to be obtuse over there on purpose? Anyway you need to look in the releases section and it’s not an obvious link on the front page. Most of the time you can get to the releases from a link in the description further down the front page of the project, usually.
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.
