I think Matrix/Element is just a tad too confusing. Similar to Mastodon. I don't know how, but Lemmy is the least confusing to use application within the Fediverse. I have easily been able to just subscribe to whatever I want and see it all.

With Mastodon, I can't just see a big feed of content like Twitter, and then follow who I want to.

And Matrix/Element is... Just not quite Discord levels of usable.

    I've only used Lemmy and this is a scary thought.

    I know some people don't want it anyway, but if there is ever going to be a mass exodus from the corporations to the fediverse, fediverse needs to seriously work on the sign up process. And can't threaten defederation every 5 minutes, which probably means they need proper modding tools/features.

    Well, they just need to make the applications work exactly like their alternatives. Mastodon should show a random feed across the entire Mastodon Fediverse. And Matrix/Element should have a "Discover" section to allow you to browse the entire Matrix, and needs DMs

    DMs are one of Matrix's main features

    They don't really work like Discord DMs... Maybe that has changed since I last used Element though.

    idk what you mean by that... you can send messages or files to eachother, just like on discord. What else is there?
