This is also me: I’m a 39 year old Ubuntu user who has been excited about the Internet since the day I first learned what a modem does, in maybe like, 1990?

So far I think Lemmy’s a bit too technical for regular people to get started with the Fediverse and to figure out how to find the right communities to join in order to have content show up in their feed comparable to what they’re already getting at a commercial service, which takes no effort at all to continue to scroll. Why would a normal person want to use alpha release software? We’re still in the early days, we’re the early adopters.

Thank you for the wefwef recommendation. I’m just now trying it out and it feels very polished.

This post got my attention. It looks like we just need to make this information user accessible. https://mylemmy.win/post/89871

Same, long-time reddit lurker here. I have posted more on Lemmy than I’ve posted on reddit in years.
