A proper "beginners guide" shouldn't be this long, IMO. It should just explain what Lemmy is in one sentence (ie, an open source clone of Reddit), and then provide links to one or two large instances with open signups.
That's basically what the first couple of paragraphs do, "Here's a brief overview and how to get started" followed by the other 3/4's of the article which is additional info.

Would be useful to add TL;DR version for "busy" people, or "ELI5" variant.
I like to think that Lemmy gatekeeps lesser intelligent people from using it. Much like how the I internet used to be.
