Good luck, stranger! :)

And I can only assume, at this point, you are also about to lose a wife?

It’s been about ten years, give or take. Thank you and fuck you for breaking my streak.

Edit: welcome 🙃

This. This is my favourite take on the whole conundrum.

Thank you for taking the time :) for once, it has finally clicked that I can drop the topic@instance on the end of my “signed in” instance domain with a /c/. Man, people who aren’t computer people or curious thinkers will never figure this place out.

Although maybe that’s a good thing.

We need a one-line explanation (I cannot find words to distill this), demonstrating that instance selection is entirely arbitrary - users need to not only believe it, but understand it intuitively, and quickly. And it’s not intuitive to most persons’ Web experience (With every internet decision I have made since IRC, the domain at which I hoist my flag, has defined the content available to me. Why would I register with an instance that hosts only thirty users? Don’t I want to be where the other people are? Hang on, if the choice is arbitrary, why am I presented with a choice at all? Surely I’m missing something. No, I don’t understand this, and so just in case, I should put myself where the other people are. If it wasn’t better over there, they wouldn’t all be there. Hang on, how do I hop between instances seamlessly? Why are there instances? What even is an instance? Why am I here? Who am I?)

Just address those concerns in ten words or less, and problem solved! XD (I may or may not have had the same questions)

Not a single co-worker of mine would even understand what Reddit was. Some would be familiar with the word - in much the same way that I’m aware there is something called what’s app, but have never actually seen it - and like New Zealand, it may as well not even be there.

You sound like you know wassup; what’s the quickest way for someone like me to navigate to a suggested community like the one you’ve mentioned? It’s clearly not a URL extension, and clicking the link wants me to send an email XD I know I can search, but are there shortcuts around this place?
