There needs to be a step by step migration guide (reddthat.com)

It was and still is hard - or at least tedious - for me as a software developer to find out how to use the fediverse and lemmy. I can't imagine how annoying it must be for a normal user. The one thing I really liked about reddit, is that you can find a well written guide for everything, often pinned at the top of a specific sub. Is there something like that anywhere?

well, i am from kbin and the people i have migrated are also on kbin, there has never been any confusion, it's made migration really easy. i have been told lemmy has intimidated and put off migrants by those migrants themselves. i think initially people should start on kbin, they will grow a natural understanding about federation and the fediverse, and from there they can choose if lemmy or others suits them more as a platform.

but, we have to actually get people here first.

Why do you think kbin is easier and that people should start there instead of Lemmy?

If i had to guess, one single platform is something people new to federation can easily understand. What happens behind the scenes is nothing the average user needs to know or should even notice. Time will change that understanding, this is just the beginning and there should not be a rush because that will scare people away.
