This process needs to be a lot simpler. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to do this for my partner (she just wants to use something other than Reddit but not technically inclined otherwise). If there was a prompt to fill it in for her, she’d be digging deeper into the fediverse.
Seriously - if we want any level of mass adoption, we have to design it more for the average person.
The best solution I know for this is a browser extension. One that knows YOUR instance and recognises another Lemmy and so can put in follow links. There exists the equivalent for Mastodon, but not Lemmy AFAIK.
