I've been working on a guide to getting started on Lemmy. What do you think I should add?

Thanks but this guide is a bit too oversimplified, which is guaranteed to leave the user with question marks after a few minutes of using it.

And I also dislike the hardcoding of recommended instances (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml).

Perhaps you could write up the sort of guide you are talking about so I can see what you mean? I haven't found people respond well to hitting them with much more than this upfront, and they get anxious when you don't give them some specific recommendations to get started.

I'll try over the weekend.
