Do they struggle with instances or does Mastodon not have the corporate appeal that mass media prefers?
After a half hour long conversation with my 63 year old father, I can confirm it’s the instances that’s confusing people.
They used to get confused when ask to select a server, but now that they blindly get funneled into Masto.social, they get burned when they log into an existing account and are asked to enter a server that they didn’t know the selected. And there is no UX to recover / remember a forgotten server domain.
Every time there is a wave of interest in Lemmy or Masto, you always see confused people asking for basic account help in the comment threads.
