If Pixelfed can reach 186k monthly active users in a week thanks to IG users, than I’m really not sure how tech savvy that person is indeed
A huge barrier for some is picking the instance and figuring which community they should follow.
Is it though? No one waited around and avoided email because they weren’t sure which provider to use. Just make an account and go… if you hear or see other features that you want, then move.
Idk I think the sign up phase could be simpler. A default instance and clear short documentation upon sign up would help. I say this not for me (nerd for 30 years) but just got my partner to switch and they were resistent due to the account creation process. Maybe it’s just the extra dimensions of “picking an instance” but it is a thing and a blocker for engagement.
No, but a ton of people got AOL and Prodigy email addresses at first because they got an email address with their account.
Some instances filter which content comes through, which might concern some people. And email services offer different features these days, so people might assume the same of fediverse instances as long as we’re drawing that comparison.
