I plan on making two videos, one where I explain how Lemmy works and then how to post in a community. I’m going to do my own research but is there any points you want to give to a new user?

Yep. I told a friend of mine “the federation just works, its the user interface and apps that need work”.
Mastodon is in a really good place nowadays where you don’t even notice you’re browsing across multiple instances. Lemmy is pretty close, too, as long as people know to use relative links and the instance you’re on is pretty well federated already so you don’t get too many 404 from trying to open places your instance doesn’t know about yet.
yep, lemmy.ca was like this when i first started browsing (the 404s) but the more everyone uses it, the better the site gets
Yeah, as it gets more and more interconnected, all the links and UI start working more and more. Hopefully soon, lemmy will get the feature of just automatically converting community names in the
!name@instan.ceformat into working links, the way writing r/subreddit or u/user did on reddit.A Friendica user told me in a comment that they already have that.
