Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 1 week agoIt doesn’t keep dumb people out, it keeps non tech savvy people out, I’ve seen extremely immature people on here
I’d pick a mature user over a tech savvy user any day. Ideally they’d be both

Picking a server isn’t a tech savvy person thing to do and it’s a good idea to stop pretending like it is. My wife, who needs me to move her steam games to other drives for her, managed to do it without asking me a thing. Tech skill has nothing to do with it

Brotha, don’t forget, even knowing what Steam is, let alone that games don’t exist in a vacuum with unicorns but on drives is far far far beyond what majority of people have had a chance to be familiar with. It sucks.
on the contrary, It took me days to figure out what the difference between servers are, what federates to what, etc. And it had nothing to do with tech. Analysis Paralysis is a thinhg:)

Tech savvy would be to start your instances. Going through the process of picking an instance and registering there is no more tech savvy than registering with facebook or any other online site. The complexity keeping people away isn’t technical, it’s domain specific. People don’t know how to choose an instance because they’re not given enough information to actually tell instances apart.
