"Mastodon is confusing to use" is something I didn't quite get. I just got a mastodon.social account for lack of any alternative. When I'm on a different server, it presents me with the "enter your home server" if I want to interact. People can understand the difference between @gmail.com and @yahoo.com email addresses.

Is there a list of specific difficulties or speed bumps somewhere? All the articles I can find are just vague "it's too complicated" or list choosing a server as the main prob.

@AlSweigart I was initially confused when you click a profile and it goes to their homeserver, if different from my server, it feels like I got logged out at first. I ended up creating accounts on multiple places before realising I don't need to do that.

This. I've seen multiple new users creating accounts right and left because of this.
