      Oh sorry I didn’t mean to imply any of it is useless. It’s just, the more information you dump on someone in one go, the more overwhelming it is for them. Whereas if you can find a way to just give them the absolute essentials, then add more context later, it’s less work for them to understand and they’re less likely to be put off whatever the thing is you’re trying to educate them on.

      Hope I’m making sense!

        no worries! right now im just grabbing the links as I see them (quick skim style) def down for some help to organize it a bit. I do agree a top 5 or 10 is a good idea with a link back here

      Maybe add some context? Like make the links inline so it reads like an instructional?

      I think a brief description of why each link is helpful is good enough for now. I’ve been using Lemmy for a couple days, and although I’m kinda getting the hang of it, I could definitely use some more organized info to answers some of the questions I’m having. And a lot of the guides I’ve seen are either not informative enough or do not present the information in a way that makes sense to a layperson.

      Edit: Never mind, I must have seen your post before it was fixed. It certainly looks a lot better!
