I don’t understand people who say they can’t figure out Lemmy or KBin (lemmy.world)

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?

Edit: I do think terminology is a bit of an issue. I can tell a lot of people don’t understand “instance” vs. “community” at first. “Magazine” is the biggest offender here. That’s a very unintuitive term.

this platform doesn't have search and as far as I understand, doesn't want to have search. so where are you thinking people are supposed to search exactly?

I would love to see your tutorial about how to search for information here.

Um, unless I'm misunderstanding you, no, there is a search here. At the top of kbin pages is a magnifying glass icon that does search.
