Make it easier to actually use. Why are there so many options to sign up, what does it all mean, why do so many of those servers need verification, how do I know which ones I need to sign up for? It's a mess. I have no idea if this comment will even work, does the server matter here?
I had the same thoughts the other day when I registered.
I’m decently tech savvy - run a Linux server at home with virtual machines and docker containers, self-host a website that’s written and updated through the terminal/command line. So not a genius but more inclined than many but I was at a pause when I opened up the site.
The pause was what does an instance mean, is it important later on and all sorts which I needed to figure out before trying to read the instances. Those are two massive barriers back to back when in reality none of it matters.

This post on Reddit is what made me sign up for Lemmy. It’s really needed, otherwise I wouldn’t have understood how to do it.
Great job on this post!
Glad you made it, feel free if you have any questions!
