Tell them to download the thunder app (it's very similar to many of the popular reddit apps) and just give them a list of the 10 most popular fediverse's to pick from to make an account.

I mentioned this like a year ago. Users will need their hands held to get them to easily come over.

I use the Boost app for Lemmy so it basically feels exactly like the ideal Reddit experience felt back then, which is fantastic.

As for being put off, the only thing that really bothers me is the extreme hatred for Windows and the deepthroating of Linux. It's creepy.

Like, I love Linux and use it for many things alongside Windows, but I don't get obsessively weird about it to the point of creating memes or going out of my way to tell people why they're wrong for using one over the other, you know?

If that were toned down I'd certainly feel a little more relaxed, but on the whole the Lemmy experience has been lovely <3

I use eternity, used infinity beforehand so it basically felt like no change when migrating (eternity is a lemmy fork of infinity)

Well yeah, which server do they want to join? Maybe sample servers that reset every day would be useful?

This is intentional. There’s a contingent of Lemmy power users who are actively sabotaging a push to make it more accessible. Every time this comes up, they openly admit their intentions are to keep it niche, and continue gatekeeping.

Good! The last thing we need is the Facebook crowd.
