Well i tried.
The comments point out some good ideas on improving the experience of lemmy for new users but I got so many comments that just didnt even want to give try it. I made an effort though. Ill keep trying to pull em in.

I also deleted my advice on creating accounts on specific instances. Apologies i just got lemmy this week. You make a good point about protection the decentralized federation.
No worries! Thank you for including all that, and for taking the time to talk to people.
I find it silly how, in the same thread,
- some users say that picking a server will be too complicated
- while others recommend custom patching a third party app APK with the latest workarounds in order to keep using Reddit, and repeating that process every time an update breaks them
You've likely helped a lot of people, don't worry about the silly ones :)
Thank you! I added your full response as an update to my main post. I hope thats okay! Its too much to keep up with all the comments. Theres already 300+. Figured better to catch new viewers of the post with better info.
