The confusion seems unwarranted to me, though. It’s literally the same as email. Every time I discuss fediverse with people, all of their confusion stems from presumed complexity that doesn’t actually exist. The server they pick matters just as much as it does for their email. So the process is: create an account somewhere, and start interacting with communities. That’s it.
Right. Agree. But searching for communities, especially those outside your instance can be wonky. Finding communities and grouping like communities across instances is difficult as it currently sits. And it takes a bit of understanding how to search to find things.

And the app for android doesn’t seem to let you search for and add new communities. It needs to be done from web browser from what I can tell
A lot of links still open in a browser too. Everything needs to just work in the app and be intuitive. Right now it’s just not. Hopefully soon.
I’m sure that as more users join it will get easier
