It's frustrating when so often techy people produce something but don't go the slight extra distance to anticipate the needs of normal people getting inducted into using the software. You see it all the time.

    Reddit third party apps migrating to Lemmy might address this

    Maybe.

    I tried the “old Reddit” Lemmy website today. The first thing it asks you for is a URL? What? I just loaded a URL!

    I mean, I get it but it is not a great new user experience.

    I also use Voyager which makes Lemmy look like Apollo ( the Reddit iOS app ). It is much smarter as it gives you read only content by default. You only get confronted to use a Lemmy server when you go to post. Before that, you can browse, read, and search without logging in or choosing a server. It is a vastly better introduction.
