I think a better explanation of how to use it would be good, like that there's not a native app and what an instance is. It took me some figuring how to get here.
True. As I mentioned, it was my favorite reddit app (Boost) coming to Lemmy that got me going. I had previously started to dip a toe into the fediverse, but it's a rather confusing concept to think you need to sign up to an instance that may not have any specific appeal itself, it just give you a connection to all the other instances (except when it doesn't).
They just had Jerboa when I signed up which I couldn't seem to log in to for about a week. I finally gave up and then Connect came out.
I think that's a good thing. Keeps out the riff-raff.
Haha.
Keeps out the new users we'll need to keep this place alive, you mean
This place was alive before the Reddit flood. It would be fine.
