I'm curious to hear if you have any thoughts or ideas about this. As a developer I understand very well how Lemmy works, and cant tell at all what might be difficult or confusing.

Yeah, I agree that people who come here from other places should have an easy time. I think the UI is simple and intuitive overall, but an optional tutorial for new users might be good for some people.

Federation is not a common feature so I think 'subscribed', 'local' and 'all' could be highlighted/explained/described.

One of the first things a lot of social media apps do is get you to subscribe to content/communities you are interested in. So maybe you could highlight the 'Communities' button and say that you can find communities you are interested in.

You could also highlight that clicking the username in the top right takes you to post/comment history and settings.

Could you please open an issue in the lemmy-ui repo for this?
