What? No it isn’t. Any individual instance is as simple to navigate as Reddit. The federation aspect is still in an early stage of development and implementation.
Twenty years ago, Reddit was in a similar state. It took a long time and a lot of effort to improve the system enough to be easily navigated and searchable (and then more time to mangle these features in the name of monetization).
But the idea that federated instances being difficult to traverse and filter against are intentional is utterly bogus.
I want to hang with people who are at least smart enough to tie their shoes
If you’re not navigating Lemmy via VIM, you are literally a baby who shits himself and needs someone to change his diaper.
Wow. You’re very much not understanding - I’m definitely not saying it’s intentional. It’s a take on the “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature” notion.
I’m saying that signing up for Lemmy not being as one-size-fits-all intuitive as Web 2.0 social media is a net benefit because anyone who tries to sign up, gets confused SO easily, and then frustrated and gives up is not the kind of person we want taking up server space on a Lemmy instance.

If you hate intuitive interfaces, you wouldn’t be on a Reddit clone to begin with.
I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about people who can’t manage the difference. I love Lemmy to death because it’s free of the mouth breathers.
