What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i’ve been hopeful. What do you think?

    I feel like there should be a button of “hey you want me to handle this for you and pick an instance” I managed to figure out the basics and liked the post office example that memmy uses where I can mail a letter to my fellow lemm.ee friends down the street but can also get mail and news from across the country. Helpful admins are also good. I’m not super duper tech literate but I figured it out.

    Like I said reducing barriers to entry will be helpful because I didn’t come here till Apollo kicked the bucket

      It’s something reddit was actually good at. Tons of people used to find reddit way too confusing because they didn’t understand subreddits, so reddit responded by making a list of default subs for the “don’t know don’t care” crowd that makes up 90% of users in practice.

      Sure, it opened a different can of worms in that it tanked the quality of those subs when most users didn’t really get the pount of subs, but it massively lowered the barrier to entry on the platform.

      We have a much higher barrier to entry with instances, and I really think something should be put in place to lower it.
