About the costs - someone else said this is a feature, not a bug. :)
The idea is that the costs will keep most instances small, which is great. We dont want big instances. Thats the point of being distributed. Its just a mindset that people need to learn. Pick smaller instances you trust for better performance. You can still subscribe to anything you want from other instances.
Ultimately I agree with you. It's mostly going to come down to getting more people acquainted to this mindset.
Yeah I agree, and i think it will come naturally. When lemmy.ml starts to get slow due to thousands of users, then some of them will switch to a small instance and just subscribe to lemmy.ml communities from there.
Its pretty brilliant in its design, all of this.
It's taken me a week to figure all that out, but I think if someone explained it correctly in an infographic, that would make it much easier for people to understand.
Or a short like 5 minute video explaining the whole process that's easily digestible, post that shit to reddit and see how it goes.
Yeah, that would definitely help. It needs to be visual/infographic style. Or that guy who writes with a marker on the whiteboard and draws the infographic as the narration happens.
MinutePhysics? I think they're a whole animation company that does work like that on comission, might be getting them confused with another group though.

I think this idea is great but the discovery of instances for a new user is "what is the Lemmy site showing me" which is almost all larger instances.
