I want lemmy to succeed, but if it doesnt change, it never will.
I got the idea of "Ill find some communities from reddit there". Typed Lemmy into google, first result was relevant - good there. Got to mainpage, decision to join or create server - well, I chose join coz that seemed more instant.
But then it made me chose between several instances with no instant info about how will my choice affect what I see, and I just gave up there. I dont want to choose instance, I dont want to learn how it works. I want content first, and if I like it, then maybe I learn the inner workings to get more of it.
But as it stands now theres just no way Lemmy will ever become mainstream.

It feels like there's an easy fix for this too. Instances already have an about section. Simply add a short form version that can be used in circumstances like this.
