For all the problems with Reddit, I can see there being so many barriers to entry on here that will keep a lot of people from ever using or switching to Lemmy. Hope this gets ironed out.
I actually think some technological hurdle is a good thing. If it’s a little difficult to join, that will act as its own filter to keep the laziest and lowest effort people away.
