Most of my friends aren’t technically inclined. Until the onboarding process is greatly simplified I can’t really recommend it.
Why not just send them to a specific instance? Once you’re here it’s pretty simple.
I hear you but even then it’s not straightforward. My personal experience of trying to get signed up to Lemmy was pretty bad and I know my way around a computer. This could very well be an issue with the Arctic client but apps are how a lot if not most are going to interact with the platform so the ecosystem needs work.
I would just be like download Voyager and sign up
The onboarding process is just as simple as anywhere else, so long as you point them to a website to use. We have to stop telling people to “join Mastodon” or “join Lemmy”. That’s like telling them to just “join social media”.
The rough edge there is in communicating, and this weird desire ignore that this is 1000 websites, not just one.
Well, in that, and in finding off-site content to follow
Just link them to the registration page of your favorite instance directly. Boom, easy UX.
Its just so hard to sign up for a website.
I’m surprised there’s anyone here at all!
The app I use (“Boost”) made it extremely easy, it’s pretty much just as easy to use as reddit or instagram I would say - maybe even easier.
