I think that depends on your goals and concerns more than anything.

I was merely relating my anecdotal experience with about 10 people who would be Lemmy users, but bounced off so hard they're not even interested in considering it ever again because finding anything interesting was more effort than it was worth, so they've literally written off the whole Fediverse as a dumb idea for nerds.

I can't say I blame them because finding anything worth interacting with on Lemmy or the microblog platforms or whatever is worse than the commercial platforms, usually by design and, mostly, I don't disagree that killing the algorithmic feed is a good thing.

But, for something like Lemmy? It should be trivial to find out where people are talking about a topic you're interested in, and not require knowing someone who knows what tools are updated and current and accurate and how to use the tool and THEN how to take what the tool tells you and subscribe to a community since even that is obtuse and complex.

I think piefed's community grouping thing is a step in the right direction, but probably could go further with being able to find and share groups between instances.
