    Hate the be a downer but I can’t see anyone but “tech savvy” people joining this. I can’t even get my sister to verify her Zelle account to get money I sent her. Having to choose a server is going to be wildly confusing to most people.

      Out of curiosity how would you choose a server? I joined Lenny.ml as it was the first one I saw.

        I joined after the Apollo debacle started with Reddit, so I joined what had the most users at that moment and it was lemmy.world. But I already had a good idea of how these federated apps work, so I wasn’t super worried about which I picked. I imagine a random normie instagram user would delete the app as soon as they saw the list of servers, if they even got that far.

        Go to their homepage and see what the general vibe is of the posts, you can tell almost immediately what it’s all about.

      They will adapt or be left behind, at least for a while. In fact, that might be a good thing.
