So, I was trying to use the official "web app" for Lemmy, and, once again, it's just a link to Github. I'm no programmer and I just want to use the app, but have no clue what all those files are for. The tutorials on YouTube are like 1 hours long and are intended for programmers. It kind of happens more and more (links to github) and it gets me anxious every time. I am not a digital idiot at all, but this lacks information. Thanks!

It sounds like you came across documentation for how to host a Lemmy server. Can you explain what it is you're trying to do? I'm not sure what you mean by "use the official web app."

    Well, I use Jerboa but it's unstable. So I went to that page: https://join-lemmy.org/apps and tried to link to "official web app". But I came accross Github a few other times and I'm always confused...

    The “official web app” is how people can self-host Lemmy, to access it as a user it's just the website.
