most of the replys seem to be, "it's too hard/confusing to sign up" we won't get these people to sign up anyways
or "I didn't like the culture there" and fair enough, lemmy is pretty crazy, but that's why I like it
I often see people on Reddit saying they had issues with the confirmation email, definitely something for instance admins to look into
and I think Lemmy now allows resending so that's good
I initially had a hard time getting accepted anywhere - couldn’t find any instances with open registration and the first few places I applied just never responded. I ended up applying to like a half dozen in one go and two of them responded so now I have two accounts. Lol
This is another reason why when we tell Reddit users to use Lemmy, we should give them a link to a specific instance that is known to have a smooth and quick signup
sh.itjust.works is probably the instance I'd recommend for new users, they have fast and easy sign-ups and is also decently large and well federated.
