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

    Explain to people how it works! The most difficult barrier for adopting the Fediverse is a lack of basic understanding.

      but is it really? I feel like trying to explain the inner workings of fedi confuses people who really just need to know how they can get started and where to find the content they want to see.
