Seriously, if the average user needs to understand distributed systems to play in the fediverse pool, they are going to land back at Reddit. Just get people in the door (any door) and fight the technical debt that creates later.

Sure, it's a shit plan. But, it's the only way to really capitalise on the current moment. With both Twitter and Reddit blasting away at their own feet, there is a real opportunity for something better to step up. The fediverse can be that thing. But, not if people end up gatekeeping it. Less Stallman style, "RTFM!" And more, "hey, welcome. Let's get you set up."

Well, that's my point. We need a cheat sheet easy to read that gives most of the necessary information to create an account and use different instances and how to post from one to another.

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/index.html is good but way too much for newcomers

I agree, the first page is already too much text, where is the easy to consume infographic explaining it in comic style? :/

It doesn't help that there are pictures, but they're failing to load atm.
