While I know what you mean, you also need the "dummies" to encourage wider use of a platform.

While I like and use Lemmy on mobile, it's really just not the same niche as Reddit, because of the tiny (by comparison) userbase and fractured communities across servers.

If the Fediverse wants to take off as the dominant platform type, then we would need a larger audience willing to engage and popularize the idea... At least for "social" platforms like this.
