I don’t understand people who say they can’t figure out Lemmy or KBin (lemmy.world)

Does federation have a bit of a learning curve? No doubt.

Is Lemmy buggy as heck? Absolutely.

But I don’t think that really justifies a lot of the comments I’m seeing in Reddit alternatives threads that it’s hard to figure out. The front page feed and sort options are very similar to Reddit. Searching for same-instance communities is not too difficult. Posting, commenting, and voting are all quite intuitive. What’s the problem?

“Magazine” is the biggest offender here. That’s a very unintuitive term.

Lmao what? For people born after 2010 maybe? Magazines have been a thing for decades and anyone over 20 is going to associate "magazine" with "series of articles about a topic"

I guess generally online the term magazine hasn't been used often. Then again subreddit wasn't either and that's a made up word.

A made-up word is easier to adjust to compared to the word that already has a different meaning in your mind, I think. Once your brain has filed something into memory it's not very enthusiastic about changing it.
