I have learned more in the few weeks about self hosting, rust, flutter and other things in lemmy, mastodon and fediverse than in the last few years in Reddit and other social media. Maybe learned more in hacker news. It’s awesome here and love the people here who are wonderful and knowledgeable and teach me patiently without any prejudice. Thanks everyone who make this awesome place.

Biggest barrier to entry? Lmao that's a very low barrier, even my dumbass understood it.

Hey, I didn't even know there were more instances when I joined. I just went where RIF sent me, lol.

Yep, it was easy to signup but I'm on kbin.social. might have to donate some money to that guy for the free content

It's very low but a lot of people trip over the lowest of thresholds 😅

It's easy to register on an instance, the hard part is choosing one. "Which one is the right one to choose and commit to?" is a newbie question that honestly is often overthought. Choice paralysis is real for some people...

For me, there's only one good choice, sail free in the High Seas!

I joined lemmy.world, because that’s the first one I came across. But now I can see the posts from many instances using voyager and Memmy. Now you can go and join any instance with interest you. That’s the beauty of it.

That should tell you something about how little effort people have put into understanding the Fediverse.
