Do you think 'normies' (people with very very little technical knowledge/experience) will be able to come to a decentralized platform like lemmy? Can a platform be successful long term (especially in niche areas) without that super huge low effort part of the user base?

I think an already established player like Sync or Boost should provide an experience that hand holds newcomers, by leaving little to guess work.
