It's technically trivial to join lemmy. It would be more accurate to say you're not motivated enough. Which is fine, lemme has a lot of issues and it needs users who are invested at this point.

Op made the distinction that non technical users are put off, my position was that it doesn’t matter, I’m technical and I still don’t want to. The user experience and understanding the proposition are barriers to entry, of course the vast majority of people could sit down and “get it” after not long.. I’m at a point where if it’s not a website and it’s trying to be something more, I just really don’t care.
