What do you think some of the fediverse's primary stumbling blocks are? (lemm.ee)

For those that have poked around other fediverse stuff beyond Lemmy, and been around the spaces awhile, what's stuck out to you as stumbling blocks, or basic user experience fumbles? Which parts do you think may be technical, and which may be cultural?

Lack of documentation.

Recent example is Firefish. I love the platform, and I'm okay with discovering stuff on my own, but I can get why other people can be lost without exhaustive documentation

@Blaze @ALostInquirer Yeah documentation is reaaaaaallyyyy lacking. Mastodon you kinda understand if you look enough, but Misskey .... If you don't use feature you won't find any information unless someone wrote a guide which is problem in it self as guides most likely are notes so it won't be easy to find one. Add to that error messages that don't explain problem, like why people can't make response to Kbin thread after some time(some did, some get error) https://imgur.com/a/3wjEcCb
