I don’t think it’s too complicated, but it is noticeably more complicated than joining traditional social media. People often get immediately freaked out by the whole concept of instances. I know everybody keeps trying to use the email comparison, but that just is not working. People cannot connect the dots between email and something like Instagram.

Here’s how you get on Instagram or Reddit or whatever:

Go to whatever app store you use
download
enter email, username, and password
verification email

You’re done. Your voyager link is not the whole process.
