I'm a software engineer with a decade of experience, and I'm frustrated by the experience so far. Bad UX is bad UX.
Yeah I tried Mastodon a while back and while I absolutely could have finished figuring it out, I didn't encounter anything interesting enough in my time poking around to encourage me to stay there. While the general concepts behind navigating a federated community are still kinda foreign to me, I was able to get up and running on Lemmy with much more ease and quickly start finding content that was interesting to me.
