Yeah, I can definitely see that. I remember it taking a while for me to figure out how to use Hubzilla, too. It's like, super early-stage level of development, like if I poked my head into the kitchen expecting cookies and people are still trying to figure out what to put in the mixing bowl.

Honestly, I didn't quite figure out the channels thing or the streams thing -- I basically set up an account a month ago, couldn't figure out where to find the dashboard/reading page, couldn't figure out how to friend people, so then I left. Then recently I logged back in because I got email notifs of people friending me, so I friended them back (or something? I'm actually not sure), but then I was able to find the reading page (the "Stream"). But yah, there's definitely a bunch of confusing phrasing that makes things harder. But I feel like that's stuff that can also be easily changed later.

I'm sorry it was so frustrating! It's definitely not going to be my main place any time soon, but rather a place I'll go whenever I have the extra brainspace and want to see what's going on in the kitchen. :X
