Speaking of which, is there a way to find out the total number of subscribers to a community? I think I can only see the number on each particular instance.

What barrier to entry? I followed the link from Reddit, filled in a very simple sign up form, and here I am.

I´m in a few discussions over at reddit about exactly this. No one can tell whats the hard part. It seems the only confusion is the multi server architecture and the calssic: do I have ot register onevery server then thing.

As I understand it, you can just sign up here and ignore the rest of the fediverse. If you want to use one account to access other instances and get an experience like full Reddit maybe it's more complicated, but if you're just here for synthesizer stuff it's super simple.

Yeah it is thas why I dont get it. I already got most subs subscribed like on reddit directly form the community tab. It just took a while to federate them all.

Its super nice.

I think this is exactly it. I had never even heard of Lemmy, and its structure, along with Mastodon's (I'm not even sure how equivalent these two platforms are), are a bit alien. So I think, at least among people who are more familiar with message boards and the like, that's th path of least resistance. Not that it's actually difficult to register, but I can see why there may be such a perception.
