"Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform."

ikr all that join-lemmy needs to do is list a bunch of servers and say: browse these, click Join if you like it.

Even that is too hard for most people, you need to be able to download an app from the appstore and register in under 2 minutes, then lemmy needs to provide enough interesting content easily for the average person to stay.

Lemmy doesn't aim to captivate and take over your attention like most social media does. If that's what people want, they should stick to their other platforms.

Yeah but I find lemmy to be less Instant dopamine and more thought provoking post

Which for me I think is really healthy cause I wrecked my attention span

So you think Beef Stroganoff is thought provoking?
