    I don’t understand the “it’s complicated” thing. Figuring out which instance to use was slightly confusing (I went with lemmy.world because it seemed to be the most popular at the time), but after that, it’s no more complicated than Reddit or any other social media site. Am I missing anything?

        Yep. Presenting the user with a choice that they don’t fully understand (which instance should I choose? What even is an instance?) is a very big deterrent.

          Bigger deterrent is presenting real choice than one they don’t understand

      No, you tried something new, the unknown did not dither you. Weirdly, that was the “complicated” barrier.
