[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 33 points 3 years ago (2 children) I don't mean to sound like I'm super smart or anything but I didn't have any issue figuring out mastodon or lemmy. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Smokeydonuts@lemmy.world 31 points 3 years ago (5 children) I think the larger issue is people won't take three minutes to read some basic instructions and background. They want to be spoon feed info and told what buttons to click. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Will_Not_Grow_Up@lemmy.world [B] 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) To be fair, if it were spoon fed to people, it would be more popular. The best thing for federation is if it were much easier to get into for the average person. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago Agreed but it needs to catch up to the current influx before we make it any easier :P permalink fedilink source parent [–] JakeHimself@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago Is there a good guide that summarizes everything? The docs make sense to me, but I also understand the technical parts of Lemmy too (I'm a backend dev). I think something that introduced Lemmy (and the Fediverse in general) that had visualizations.and everything would go a long way for some people. Maybe a short video or something too. permalink fedilink source parent [–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 years ago True, and I spent almost a month holding the spoon, but now with Sync dead I'm hoping the rest can feed themselves. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago* Hey @smokeydonuts I like your name ;) permalink fedilink source parent [–] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago That's true and it's growing fast enough that it doesn't need any help in that department, but increasing ease of use and lowering the barrier to entry are major factors in software design. Hopefully, the 3rd party app devs that no longer have Reddit apps to maintain make the switch easier in the future. permalink fedilink source parent [–] majere@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago I'm having issue figuring out how it works interacting from one side to other. I know lemmy.world can interact with mastodon instance via whatever activity pubsub thing they have, but for instance, can I log into the mastodon app with my lemmyworld account? I know I can post there somehow, but all the web mentions of it are like, pasting the url links in proper order like I'm in the pre-dial-up age or something. A much more cohesive unification is needed. permalink fedilink source parent
