Does federation have a bit of a learning curve? No doubt.

Is Lemmy buggy as heck? Absolutely.

But I don’t think that really justifies a lot of the comments I’m seeing in Reddit alternatives threads that it’s hard to figure out. The front page feed and sort options are very similar to Reddit. Searching for same-instance communities is not too difficult. Posting, commenting, and voting are all quite intuitive. What’s the problem?

    Yeah, I studied HMI in college. But I still don’t get it - obviously it’s not exactly the same, but Lemmy’s UI is pretty much a complete clone of reddit’s. I get if there are some things that aren’t optimized yet, but it is wild to me that a reddit user looks at this and doesn’t uderstand how to look at and create posts.
