But there's not many current users over there to answer them. If you still have a reddit account and are willing to help some folks out, please consider doing so!

"I'm very tech-savvy, but I don't understand how the Fediverse work" - Then continues to write FUD... I'm so tired lol

If Pixelfed can reach 186k monthly active users in a week thanks to IG users, than I'm really not sure how tech savvy that person is indeed

I appreciate folks making the effort to help over there. I nuked my 12-year-old account and try not to give them any additional traffic, but onboarding new folks is probably one of the best arguments for activity there

A huge barrier for some is picking the instance and figuring which community they should follow.

Is it though? No one waited around and avoided email because they weren't sure which provider to use. Just make an account and go... if you hear or see other features that you want, then move.

Idk I think the sign up phase could be simpler. A default instance and clear short documentation upon sign up would help. I say this not for me (nerd for 30 years) but just got my partner to switch and they were resistent due to the account creation process. Maybe it's just the extra dimensions of "picking an instance" but it is a thing and a blocker for engagement.

"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
- https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
- https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
- https://vger.app/ if you want an app
Feel free if you have any questions"
Why those two? https://sh.itjust.works/post/31492067/16218879

wish we could somehow transfer reddit history, but reddit legally owns our posts and identity

Rules and laws are just strongly worded suggestions

You're missing the point. My comment is about induced friction causing people to walk away.

I wanted to give you some shade for not posting any links to back up your claims.
There was a rumor going around that EULAs can be easily attacked, but when I did a very unthorough search of it, I found the end of this wikipedia article states otherwise.

Which default instance when LW is slow for some people in the US? https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/36299751
And you can't recommend an American instance to Europeans as applicable laws are different

I'm sure there's technical things to consider here. I'd leave it to the app dev to work that out. The point being that removing that choice by default might yield more users.

I'm not making any claims that require sources or links, it's simply a philosophy and a fact of life, depending how you look at it.
Just because something is a rule and you may face consequences for breaking it, does not mean that you must follow it. You always have the choice and the option to refuse to follow a rule or a law.
