I clicked it for you:

I’m so lost. Is there an easy mode to the fediverse? I’m trying to figure out how to get into the fediverse and Lemmy but the more I look into it the more confused I get. I’ve looked through a few guides and they all make it look so simple but then present me with like hundreds of different options about which instance I should go to and I’m unclear about what to do. I’m pretty much paralyzed by choice and I just find the whole thing rather frustrating. Am I the only one this whole thing doesn’t make sense to? Is there a simple layman’s guide somewhere that just explains things in general terms or makes the transition easier? It can’t be that hard; I’ve seen posts on whatever Lemmy instance my jerboa app is pointed at with thousands of upvotes, so I know plenty of people have managed to make the jump… But I’m still struggling to figure out how. I’ve already applied to several instances and haven’t heard anything from any of them.
