Redditors migration is impossible if they're recommended hundreds of alternatives (see link) (lemmy.world)

Seeing sticky posts on r/RedditAlternatives like https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/

I don't see how anything can be coordinated when so many options are presented in a confusing way.

Of course, they don't have to choose Lemmy / kbin instances, but I'm worried that a lot of people will stay on Reddit given the inability to properly communicate alternatives.

(Bonus: most platforms listed here ( https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/yttdlc/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_v8/ ) are terrible and Lemmy is relegated to the "less active" section; furthermore only lemmy.ml is listed, instead of https://join-lemmy.org for example)

I came to Lemmy because I was reading so much about it, but to be honest I don't understand the federation concept well yet or how it impacts usage. The UI and basic concept seems intuitive enough from registering a few minutes ago and joining a few communities and replying to messages, but I still need to learn more about how it works and hopefully someone (Christian maybe?) releases an app that does for Lemmy what Apollo did for Reddit.
