I don't mean to sound like I'm super smart or anything but I didn't have any issue figuring out mastodon or lemmy.
I think the larger issue is people won't take three minutes to read some basic instructions and background. They want to be spoon feed info and told what buttons to click.
To be fair, if it were spoon fed to people, it would be more popular. The best thing for federation is if it were much easier to get into for the average person.
Agreed but it needs to catch up to the current influx before we make it any easier :P
Is there a good guide that summarizes everything? The docs make sense to me, but I also understand the technical parts of Lemmy too (I'm a backend dev). I think something that introduced Lemmy (and the Fediverse in general) that had visualizations.and everything would go a long way for some people. Maybe a short video or something too.
True, and I spent almost a month holding the spoon, but now with Sync dead I'm hoping the rest can feed themselves.
Hey @smokeydonuts I like your name ;)
That's true and it's growing fast enough that it doesn't need any help in that department, but increasing ease of use and lowering the barrier to entry are major factors in software design. Hopefully, the 3rd party app devs that no longer have Reddit apps to maintain make the switch easier in the future.
I'm having issue figuring out how it works interacting from one side to other. I know lemmy.world can interact with mastodon instance via whatever activity pubsub thing they have, but for instance, can I log into the mastodon app with my lemmyworld account? I know I can post there somehow, but all the web mentions of it are like, pasting the url links in proper order like I'm in the pre-dial-up age or something.
A much more cohesive unification is needed.
