Yes, it will absolutely be a barrier to entry to many. Especially people who never used discussion boards. Before reddit, I was an active member on a dozen or so boards, and always wished there was a simpler way for them to interact. So, Lemmy makes sense to me.
If activitypub had existed between forums like phpbb and discourse from the beginning, we might not ever have had reddit. Huge force multiplier. Existing forum software should add support, IMO.
