There’s a lot that can be done to make it simpler and easier given enough time.
More importantly than that though, as long as any fediverse-enabled platform takes off, then it actually doesn’t matter if it “succeeds” (if by succeed you mean millions of users). Do I care if somebody uses Kbin instead of Lemmy? Hell no. Kbin’s success is Lemmy’s success and vice-versa.
The measure of success is not Lemmy user numbers. The measure of success is fediverse user numbers.
Right, but the nice thing here is you can actually fix this, or suggest how it should work instead, and there’s a way to get it sorted out. Something on Reddit annoys you? Scream into the void and cope with it, mostly.
I find lemmy too complex and technical to succeed…

How could I use Lemmy to see outside Fediverse content?
Right now? Subscribe to a Kbin magazine (if they’re not still overloaded)
I though it’s too complex too but with https://browse.feddit.de/ it’s pretty simple to set things up.
I found reddit complex once upon a time. I think once people wrap their heads around instances, everything else is easy.
For example, have you tried mentioning a user in a comment? it shows every corresponding username in every instance…
