Bluesky: install an app and make an account.

Mastodon: first pick a server. What does that mean? You figure it out. Ok, now select a client and install it. Doesn't matter which one, but it actually does. Then use that client app to log onto the server you made an account on. Now you just need to figure out who to follow and you're ready to participate!

The how-to-search-for-people-to-follow thing caused me trouble with Mastodon. I could handle getting a client and an account, but actually finding people not on the same instance as me was a challenge. Discoverability was pretty broken.

Bluesky doesn't seem to have that problem.

Lemmy I've stuck with because it handles that better.

The latest version of Mastodon does suggest accounts to follow. But you're absolutely right - Bluesky being fully centralized can do a lot of things easier than it is for the Mastodon network. I have high hopes that @[email protected] will help alleviate this a lot though with the Fediverse equivalent for "starter packs":

Mastodon is pretty much the same now

There is an option to pick another server, but non-technical users are probably going to glance over it entirely

Download "Mastodon" from an app store. Create an account. Post.

It's been a few years since you last tried, right?

It offers you a server, which is a step up, but the option to pick a different one is still very prominent which is going to make some people ask questions and lead to the usual confusion and anxiety about picking the "right" one.
