So, I was trying to use the official “web app” for Lemmy, and, once again, it’s just a link to Github. I’m no programmer and I just want to use the app, but have no clue what all those files are for. The tutorials on YouTube are like 1 hours long and are intended for programmers. It kind of happens more and more (links to github) and it gets me anxious every time. I am not a digital idiot at all, but this lacks information. Thanks!

    It depends what you mean by “official web app”, but GitHub is meant to hold the source code for programmers to run locally and contribute to it. It probably explains the assumptions about who gets there. What were you seeking by going there?

    If you mean that you want to create an account and start browsing Lemmy, then you need to do it on a Lemmy instance; there is no specific link to one, because they’re meant to be usable equally. But I see you’re posting this from an account on Lemmy.ml, so it seems like you already got that figured out.

    In short: what are you trying to do?
