Hmm, seems like the way to conform with this - is to post clear instructions on how to open a lemmy account and access the relevant community here instead - then the community will really belong to themselves, right?
(If a move to lemmy is going to work, we need to make sure that clear instructions are provided, and there is an easy map of existing subreddits over to new lemmy communities/channels.
I made an account, like, 15 minutes ago and it's not too difficult. But yeah, a simple guide would've been really nice
I think the only thing that's really missing is the whole subscribing to another instances sublemmies. Clicking a link here and being taken to another server and told to log in on a site for which we have no login as our Achilles heel at the moment.
But it's not that I'm like going to new subreddits on Reddit used to be where you had to know /r/whatever now it's /c/whatever@kbin.social
Think there just needs to a YouTuber or something that makes a "Lemmy in 100 seconds" guide.
Saw a link to lemmy.world on reddit, went to it, clicked 'sign up', filled in my info and waited for an email. I don't get why people think it's difficult. It's literally the same as any other website. Reddit's astroturfing hard on how 'hard' lemmy is to use.
Once you've chosen an instance, yeah, it's dead simple.
I think the emphasis on users choosing the instances that best fits them, and discouraging people from going onto larger instances is where all the confusion comes from. Add to this the fact that there's no way (yet?) to migrate between instances (without starting over again as a new user) puts a whole lot of pressure onto prospective new users.
