True. As I mentioned, it was my favorite reddit app (Boost) coming to Lemmy that got me going. I had previously started to dip a toe into the fediverse, but it's a rather confusing concept to think you need to sign up to an instance that may not have any specific appeal itself, it just give you a connection to all the other instances (except when it doesn't).
They just had Jerboa when I signed up which I couldn't seem to log in to for about a week. I finally gave up and then Connect came out.
