I agree, but it took a bit to understand active vs anything else and subscribed vs. all, etc. I think if there were explainers about switching your viewing and a list of instances' websites so you could check out the one you want to join by seeing their hot first page, that would be helpful. Also, a list of open source apps. Maybe there should be a welcoming community for people to lemmy? A place where everyone checking it out could go to ask questions and tutorials and stuff. Right now, you kind of have to know lemmy to ask lemmy.
