I'm new here coming from Reddit.

Yalls subreddit needs links to here. And a short guide on getting started.

I had to scroll a bunch of comments to find the right name to Google. Then I had to find the most popular app to use. It was a bit of a hassle. Not too bad. But enough to be off-putting to newbies.

The benefit is also it's curse. It's all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.

But once you get your own ecosystem set up, it is amazing.

Which is a huge hurdle for new people ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
