Does federation have a bit of a learning curve? No doubt.

Is Lemmy buggy as heck? Absolutely.

But I don’t think that really justifies a lot of the comments I’m seeing in Reddit alternatives threads that it’s hard to figure out. The front page feed and sort options are very similar to Reddit. Searching for same-instance communities is not too difficult. Posting, commenting, and voting are all quite intuitive. What’s the problem?

    That is an issue for small instances, but not if they join a big instance.

    Unless big instance gets defederated from other instances (ex. lemmy.world from beehaw.org) and you don’t see half of the comments on the posts.
