I like what Isopod did, linking them directly to a instance.

The only way to catch the average joe is to hold their hand and get them to content as quickly as possible. While linking them to the largest instances may not be the healthiest for decentralization, it’s going to give newcomers the best experience.

A lot of redditors, I’d even say the majority now-a-days, use the app. While a lot of the Lemmy apps are great. I wish there was one that guided you through the entire signup process.

    They’re thinking too hard about it.

    You register in server A. The community is in server B. Server A and B send info back and forth. That’s it.

    Proposal: what if we [older users] made a FAQ?

    I think “Lemmy Federate” fixed the main problem small instances have (Not federating as much communities as the big ones), at least for those instances that have it enabled. Why do you think the biggest instances give the best experience?

    I can agree with the last part tho, would be cool if there was an app that would do that

        Thanks. This website is a bot, that federates communities from remote instances, that are not yet federated, you can read the description:

        Communities on threadiverse are not federated by default.

        When you create a new community, it will only be available to your instance. To make it accessible to other instances, at least one user from each remote instance must follow it.

        This tool automates this process by following your community from all remote instances until it gains at least one real-user follower.
