Reddit has been around for quite a while. There are those of us who used to be tech-savvy "back in the day" that don't handle change either quickly or well. For a casual social-media only user, this can be similar to the experience of a cave-person discovering fire. There are bound to be questions, especially when dealing with multiple types of instances on the fediverse. If we want this to grow into its full potential, we NEED to be patient and welcoming to even the most technologically illiterate.
Yep, this. I'm old, and I used to be super technically literate, but not anymore. Now I'm happy to keep my kids alive, use my smartphone to run my life, and ask a lot of questions. It took me embarrassingly long to figure out how to subscribe to something, and I'm not even 100% sure I did.
I'm cranky for at least 2 days if I have to get a new work computer for any reason. I don't want to lose my reddit communities, so I'm trying, but I won't if people are just rude to start.
