I told somebody I know who knew about Reddit's API changes about Lemmy. He has a master's degree in Computer Science and works as a software engineer. But then, he told me that it's too confusing to get into, even for someone like him. This is great feedback and I hope that these issues will be fixed in the coming months.
I did. I had to find an instance that let me create an account without an approval process or a spinning wheel of nothings happening. Today is my first day posting on the platform but it's my second trying to use it. I definitely had to search for answers to get this far and I'm not recommending it at all to my less techy friends until things stabilize.
