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.
Yeah, this site is in early stages and if someone just wants to be babysat... we literally don't have the manpower for that yet! A smaller dedicated userbase is more important at this stage than mindless growth.
