Are you ever used Voyager (https://vger.app/ https://vger.app/settings/install) ? Seems quite easy to use, there is even a tool to discover similar communities to your Reddit subscriptions when you first start the app.
I regularly see people saying they just use Voyager, they don't even know what instance they are using.
Yes, I have Voyager myself (little mouse icon) and I'm using it, but still I find it quite confusing for non-tech people. I try to explain. I'm a High School teacher in graphic design and crossmedia. I work mostly with teenagers between 14-18yo. They can work very well with the software, but don't try to explain the technology behind it. They don't wanna know or they don't care, as long as the software works and the program does what they want it to do. I also spend years educating adults to work with new technology. When I look at the Voyager interface, I see: Home, All, Local. I see lemmy.wtf; feddit.uk; feddit.org; lemmy.world, etc... Maybe people think that I'm just crazy and/or overreacting, but I can guarantee you that alot of people don't understand all the tech things behind it. Only 0.1% of the users of FB, Insta, TikTok, etc... have a clue (or are interested) in the tech behind the apps.
What is confusing about Home? The description says "Posts from subscriptions"
You mean thet community names have the @instance at the end? It is more confusing than an email address that is [email protected]?
Yep. To be clear... for me that's OK, bc I understand it, but I showed it to my wife and daughter and they were thinking... "that looks complicated". So... if we would be able to mask the @xxxxx things, it would look more "simple" and clean.
But then it would look even more confusing. The picture above shows [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] . Those are three different communities, not showing it would make it more confusing.
Do people think that [email protected] and [email protected] are the same email addresses?
OK... whatever. I rest my case and I move on.
I see where the confusion can come from, but there is really no way around it unfortunately.
I keep bringing the email example because that has been known by pretty much everyone for decades that the complete email address is name@emailprovider
