  Here’s how you get on Instagram or Reddit:

  1. Go to whatever App Store you prefer.
  2. download
  3. enter email, username, and password
  4. verification email

  You’re done. Your voyager link is not the whole process.

    Lemmy can be as simple if not simpler than that:

    1. "Hey, Lemmy of is a bit like Reddit, have a look at <link to your instance>"
       • they can have a browse, no download required
    2. If they want to join, enter email, username, and password
    3. Verification email

    We could maybe ask lemm.ee admins to enable automatic email verification, but then they would need to fight the unavoidable spam bots registration waves

      Email verification isn’t the issue. Every platform uses that. I’m saying the above is simpler than joining the fediverse and “getting around.”
