Fediverse migrants are a self-selecting group (lemmy.world)

Point being, all of us that are here are the ones cool enough to come here. We are unified by the desire for a better social media that is not-for-profit and user driven. And that makes this community unique compared to the scabs advocating for Reddit. The people who will belong here will come here. :)

The whole federation thing is confusing though…

Client selection on iOS is quite limited too. I’d love if there was an Apollo-like Lemmy client complete with all the gestures and seamless Imgur upload.

But even then, trying to find a community is challenging because of the decentralized nature of it

There’s potential for sure, but I can’t see it taking off with the general public in the current state

I had a half-baked thought that an instance and a bare-bones mobile client should be set up specifically for newcomers, with a utility for transferring to another instance when they feel knowledgeable enough to decide. The client could have tooltips or a tutorial bot to gradually introduce fediverse concepts.

Keep in mind that, from what I have seen while browsing the Threadiverse (is this the correct term?), there are some Lemmy/Kbin iOS and Android clients in development, so once they get out of that early development phase, then this shouldn't be an issue anymore.
