For a while now, the app has been really easy to sign up on, and now the website is the same.
Comment on What does Bluesky have that Mastodon doesn't?
legion@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s ridiculous how much Mastodon advocates downplay this.
I strongly prefer Mastodon over the alternatives, but the onboarding experience is BAD for the average user.

Onboarding to Mastodon is actually identical to BS/Threads now. They’ve made huge improvements. It’s a shame that most of the news media’s experience discovering Mastodon for the first time was in Oct '22 because it’s left a bit of a “techie” aura around the whole thing they’re still trying to shake off.

A lot of journalists are really bad at using the machine they use to do their job and it shows.
