The problem is just when someone in the past said “you should join !”, you were always able to just immediately go to forum x’s signup page and sign up. But if someone hears of Lemmy, and goes to join-lemmy.org, there is no way to go to a signup page directly.

People should probably stop saying "join Lemmy", and instead link directly to the site/instance they suggest

User should create an account on one server

Mostly this. Some people might want a few accounts but those would be hardcore users.

Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?

I'm not a Lemmy dev (well I've made a couple of small commits lol), but this type of question can be hard to answer from the inside of a project.

It would probably be easier to answer a question more like: "Do you plan to implement feature XYZ in order to be easier to use like Bluesky?"

Back to Anachronox, Shogo Mobile Armor Division, and Battle Zone 98 Redux, for me.

Wow what a list of games lol. I loved Anachronox, that game is underrated

On Reddit you see tons of people giving up due to signup issues, usually due to emails I think. Instance admins should really double check their process and make sure it's all working often.

And the app devs too, if you can signup through the app gotta make sure it works on instances with captchas/email verification/etc

The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.

Lemmy does have this actually

New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums

and then there's the "Active" sort, which is kind of a compromise

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
