I understand that....the average person is not going to. Also, you EXPLAINED it to someone (I also explained it to my wife, who is not a tech person at all, and she understood fine), but again, it takes explaining. For this to take off, it's going to need to be accessible without a lot of explanation. Otherwise people just won't care.

    For what it's worth, I'm not a tech person who didn't have anything explained to me beforehand, knew almost nothing except seeing the words 'lemmy instance' (didn't know what that meant, just that it was relevant so googled it and found a sign up page) and 'jerboa app' on reddit and figured out my way here lol. I probably have a bit more free time and patience than the average user and am not afraid to brute force my way through just to see if things work tho lol.

    There needs some improvements before it'll be mainstream accessible for sure imo, most of which I've seen pointed out a few times already on different communities. I'd seen mastodon mentioned before in passing by non-tech friends who were just twitter users tho even without ever using Twitter myself, so I suspect if an average user can understand mastodon the same could be true here right?
