Does anyone know of an open source reddit alternative which is also comprehensible when trying to make a new account?

Does any body know of an open-source reddit alternative? God, I wish that existed :/

I don't understand, was making an account on Lemmy difficult? I have a Lemmy.world account as well and making an account was super easy. Maybe you'd like Kbin or Mbin better?

I don’t know if matters have improved any, but back when I created my lemmy.world account specifically it had some kind of bugout about what I’d entered, but it output this to the developer console and not on the page itself. Had I not thought to press F12 I would not have discovered that it had its panties in a twist about whatever it was, I think characters in my email address or something. I forget exactly what its problem was.
So yeah, I can definitely seeing that baffling the average user.

But even Lemmy isnt safe.
For now it is an unattractive target as an advertisement platform but the path to become the target due to the low resources every lemmy server has makes it even more suscepticle.

Yes. I’m so tired of how easy it is to shoehorn advertising into any post. That’s why I use the Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn.

This post makes it seem like the Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn actually makes it harder to shoehorn, when the opposite is actually true!
I love my Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn!

There is a silver lining in this.
It’ll take Lemmy a long time to even get to a quarter of the user base Reddit has. I estimate probably 10 ~ 20 years. So that’s a good couple decades to enjoy things here while we can. By then, we’d be too old to give a fuck anymore.
