How are users that aren't interested in following the state of each community supposed to know which one is "on top" or the best community to post to or watch for relevant information? I don't agree that making meta-level knowledge of the site mandatory to successfully navigating it is healthy or smart for the long term success of lemmy.

How did you pick between Coke and Pepsi? You picked the one you liked. Choice is a good thing, I think you're making this harder than it needs to be.

A lot of these arguments are starting to sound like Reddit is astroturfing around here.

A lot of people are fresh off of Reddit and are looking for an exact clone of Reddit, which is fair enough. They don't understand Federation and think Lemmy needs to stop doing it, lol. Like, Squables is that way - - - >

The same way they have been doing it on reddit. You browse around, see a community that looks interesting and you subscribe. Notice that you have two related communities and you merge them in your client.

I mean, you need to know how a service works in order to use it effectively. Lemmy works a certain way and that's that.

Not sure which you're arguing for – that Lemmy should be simpler (I think it's fairly simple for what it is) or that clients should be simpler (which is happening as we speak) – but either way it's going to work out. Hell, Twitter's mechanics are a lot less intuitive and it still managed to make it big.

Look at c/all and see which communities consistently are at the top. If you like one community over the other, upvote and comment on that community's posts.
