We're really building something here!
I'm loving Lemmy, but man they have to make it a lot easier to sign up and get on a server.
It's gotten way better than a week ago, I'm using Jerboa, they just had an update and I'm really amazed by it. Of course it's not perfect, but it's enough for now.
Main thing is to make an account on any of the servers, doesn't matter which one. After that, it's easy.
Sort on 'All', scroll and if you come across a community you like, click and subscribe.
I think the difficulty adds a bit of a natural filter for those that really want to leave Reddit vs those that just want to check things out.
But yes, easy access would make it more mainstream which may be better for long term growth of the platform.
