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 feel like that post has it backwards. It’s most helpful to first explain “how do i start and where do i find everything/meet everyone” then go into the details of what fediverse means. It explains the details of creating a community instead of tips for discovering communities, even though 99% of users want to join communities and will never make one of their own. I think it’s possible to make a more focused guide that targets what most users will actually need help with
