the average Joe would download jerboa, then be in. he would browse anonymously, and eventually make an account at the instance he enjoyed the most content from. choosing instance might be complicated, but until then, as long as he is browsing, he is on the platform.
The average joe probably didn't even use a third party client for Reddit and absolutely is not affected by the API changes. They're going to browse reddit as if nothing happened.
@BackStabbath yes & no. Reddit had quite a few highly technical spaces.
We instituted an org wide blacklist of Reddit the other day, so no more redditing over here.
Now to find the fediverse equivalents to sysadmin net admin etc…
Yeah, I'm not surprised that a lot of people in the technical fields used third party apps. I'm talking about the general public that would never know Lemmy exists and would be bored if I even talked for two minutes about a cool app lol (and there are plenty of them).
