Yeah no doubt.

I think what I run up against is more fundamental to ActivityPub.

My wife was going to try and sign up for Lemmy tonight, but I didn’t even know where to direct her. Lemmy.ml has signups off. Lemmy.world is a version behind. I know nothing about the people hosting any other instance currently. Lemmygrad is great but it’s kind off in a corner. Defederated heavily and comes with normy hate baggage. She was calling her self a Communist well before I got on the train, but a more casual experience is likely what she wants. Just the stuff Reddit provided, pre sleep reading entertainment/news. Twoxchromosome, parents subs, subdrama, content creator related subs etc.

I took a look at /all on Lemmy.ml and I feel like it was over run by meme posts from a dozen meme communities across the network…

I guess hexbear is technically a Lemmy instance now but I have no idea what the community is like over there.

It’s just kinda a mess lol. I felt that way about mastodon too. I have no idea what I’m missing because of how both federation and defederation works. Creative communities seem almost non-existent.

I’m not sure there is a point im getting at here lol but onboarding is not easy.
