I just left reddit and registered lemmy. Did it all on a train ride. It felt pretty easy. Had to search two things: which app do I use for lemmy? And: how do I register for lemmy? Other than that: effortless.
I hate to say it though, but Lemmy.ml is a sketchy instance. So there is a point to it not being as easy as it should be—it’s hard to see the pitfall of the instance run by the developers being a Russia friendly mess.
Same, also, which instance? I know that the whole idea is that it kinda doesn’t matter, but still it’s nice to have a big instance. And it would be amazing having an easy resource to list the biggest communities.
But all in all it was a 5 min thing, search for the Reddit equivalent of my most communities and let’s go :)
If you want a big instance I recommend switching to something like lemmy.zip.
Lemmy.ml unfortunately has very questionable moderation. I’m thrilled you guys are here, but the fact that you ended up on that instance is proof that we have ways to go as a platform.

Recommending lemmy.zip itself is problematic because it’s blocking UK users.
