Saw a link to lemmy.world on reddit, went to it, clicked ‘sign up’, filled in my info and waited for an email. I don’t get why people think it’s difficult. It’s literally the same as any other website. Reddit’s astroturfing hard on how ‘hard’ lemmy is to use.
Once you’ve chosen an instance, yeah, it’s dead simple.
I think the emphasis on users choosing the instances that best fits them, and discouraging people from going onto larger instances is where all the confusion comes from. Add to this the fact that there’s no way (yet?) to migrate between instances (without starting over again as a new user) puts a whole lot of pressure onto prospective new users.
