or another way to ask it, what made fedi easier for you to adopt? I don’t think the answer is better ways of explaining how federation exactly works, because no matter how good of an analogy you can make, most users don’t care and just want to know how to get started
EDIT: I guess I’ll go first, for something like Mastodon I think encouraging people to use a client like pinafore.social or Tusky instead of going directly to the website of the instance would help stop people from confusing themselves by getting redirected between instances. Same for Lemmy as better clients start to pop up
I realized just after posting this might be a little confusing and deleted it. Apparently not fast enough :))
Currently you need to do a search for the URL on your instance before a new community shows up
yeah, i think that is the only thing that triggers the node to pull down your server content, and its slow with no UX to tell the user to just wait, you have to hit search then come back after 10-30 secs and do it again. Even then I have had issues, I assume because my server is still new.
Many little bugs, but I dont see anything impossible to address.
