It can’t feel effortless and it never will. Why? Because Reddit is like having every person in your telehone book, easy to find and communicate with. And Lemmy and fediverse in general are like phone numbers without a phone book. You and someone else might both have telephones, but unless you meet in person or another way to exchange contact details, you can’t communicate with each other.

So, people need to put a bit more effort in it to understand it, or we need a fediverse telephone book.
