Just trying this out, don’t mind me

Now that’s a strapon if I’ve ever seen one. And it might actually get off if it goes flacid halfway 🤔

Oof, so much nostalgia!

Lost the game!

Well, it’s meant as an introductory paragraph. I think such a general paragraph should not go to those lengths since the vast majority won’t be facing that issue. Most large instances that you would recommend for first timers are federated well enough that at least the civilised part of Lemmy is very accessible. I think that with:

• sensible defaults/suggestions
• easy to understand intro
• a help/link to a detailed article

you cover enough for users who can’t be bothered, who want to be informed, and those who want to understand what’s going on behind the scenes.

I think they should stick to the “email provider” analogy. Whole paragraph should be something like:

The only thing you need to start interacting with the Fediverse is an account with one of the many providers, just like with email! Providers are freely available across the globe: pick one that suits your location or interests best! You can start browsing the content of nearly the entire Fediverse from whatever provider you choose. Don’t worry, you can always create an account with a different provider later.

You could add a sentence or two about where to find sensible defaults or link an article that explains the more subtle things.

I think the emphasis on instances (and not naming them the more familiar providers) hinders adoption.

Tried it for a week or two, but since I reinstalled Firefox I really don’t understand why I was judging/hating so much in the past years. Yes, Chrome/ium used to be waaaay faster, but Mozilla just has their shit together most of the time. The Debian of browsers so to speak.
