Oh there are so many more and worse comments lol. People cant be bothered to read these days or seek out information. If you dont feed them everything the need to know in 6 setences or less than its too confusing and unusable. Took me 30 minutes to figure out and get started.. Still learning the nitty gritty info.

And now im researching how to host an instance through third-party hosting services. But these people cant be bothered to even try it... 😆

It used to be a gamertag from cs1.6. its just been apart of my online identity. I've seen much worse names. hasnt really hindered my votes

or theirs

I also deleted my advice on creating accounts on specific instances. Apologies i just got lemmy this week. You make a good point about protection the decentralized federation.

Thank you! I added your full response as an update to my main post. I hope thats okay! Its too much to keep up with all the comments. Theres already 300+. Figured better to catch new viewers of the post with better info.

Update**

User otter@lemmy.ca from the Lemmy community recommended i update my post and add the following links below to assist new users.

From otter@lemmy.ca:

Can you link these as you see fit, maybe instead of the infographic? They respond to some of the common 'criticisms'

Detailed overview: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

Alternative UIs: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/alternative-uis

Mobile Apps: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/mobile-apps

Communities: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities

Also I don't think recommending one instance is the way to go, even if it gets people to join. Causing centralization harms us in the long run.

Here is how we approached it

To be fair. Majority of users were also excited/supportive. Many never heard of it so i hope it gains traction. Its definitely a huge improvement compared to a few years ago. Im really excited about the open source / federation potential. Get corporate out of our feeds.

Thank you. I will. I was showcasing boost through out the thread. Posting videos of me navigating through the UI. honestly it took me only 30 minutes to figure out how this works, why its great, and how to setup the app. Some people will fight tooth and nail against change and yet continue complaining about the problems over there.
