I agree that the extra step of having to choose an instance is a hurdle that will turn some people away. In my own experience with it I had to apply to the first one I tried to join (never got a reply), had a timeout on the second one, and didn't successfully create an account until my third attempt. That's more effort than some would be willing to put forth.
However I really don't think the confusing nature of the Fediverse is that big of a deal. I don't think I understand it at all, and it doesn't seem like I need to for now. Download Jerboa, make account, switch feed from 'Local' to 'All', and oh look it's basically my RIF experience again.
Over and over on Reddit I saw people say "Lemmy will never take off because it's too confusing for average users," but I just don't think that's the case.
Also hey it's also my first comment ever
Yeah this shit is easy. I made an account and also use jerboa. No problem.
Instance checks out.
Right???
