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 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/[email protected]
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.
I think most of them are being honest. When many people are confronted with a new piece of information something they don’t know they just glaze over.
It’s just like Reddit except there are a bunch of different servers and it’s powered by the fediverse. That’s it right there their first inclination is f*** that s*** I’m out. Somebody said it’s got something in it that I don’t understand so I don’t understand it as a whole.
We need a message displayed to critical junctions. On the front page of any unlogged in site or maybe the front page of the sign up explain to them that there are lots and lots of sites you can use to sign up They can all see the same data you can all subscribe to the same subs. And then another message when you go to post a comment that searches for any community links and gives you a suggestion on how to change them to work from any server. That’s it If you put any more out there than that they’re just going to shut down on you say it’s too difficult too complicated.

I made an account, like, 15 minutes ago and it’s not too difficult. But yeah, a simple guide would’ve been really nice
