This exactly. I didn't join Lemmy for a long time, because I would search for "Lemmy", get confused when I see a page asking me to "pick an instance" instead of seeing a front page, and then leave because I thought that they were all independent from each other.

It wasn't until reddit killed my favorite app that I finally decided to put in the effort to figure it out.
