Just read the discussion quickly. That’s nice to see people discussing it.
Imho, telling people they’re wrong, or that they don’t get it (even if that was true) when they are complaining about this or that on Lemmy won’t help them change their mind about Lemmy.
I mean, beside a few trolls that just want to drop their poop every chance they get, when someone says they have an issue using Lemmy it’s… because there is indeed something that is annoying them. If not blindingly agree with them at least we should acknowledge they’re having an issue. Some of them being quite obvious.
The servers/instances selection step when creating an account is an important one, imho. Maybe we should try to think of a simplified/illustrative explanation that would help new users overcome that confusing part?
Pretty sure that once they start using Lemmy, most will get their own bearings but for that to happen they need to start using it, and for that they need to create an account on one instance among many, and then be able to find and subscribe to a few communities on any instance. I don’t think they need to be told they’re wrong, or that they don’t understand (or they have shitty taste and preferences) ;)
Yep :)
