The main stumbling block is possibly that people are only used to centralised social media where there's one website, one app, one way of doing things.

But if you asked them to sign up for email or phone networks etc, they would have no trouble navigating the much wider range of providers and options.

Non-techy people are definitely capable of using this place, it just takes a bit of time to get used to it being different.

Lauren & Fedi are saying what matches my experience. Mastodon needs widely accessible community support.

I'm grateful for FediTips and various docs I stumbled across. But it was sheer luck at the beginning, logging in when tips crossed my feed.

I taught campus tech to first-year students for over a decade, when Prensky's "digital native" metaphor was new—and wrong. Newbies, even able CS folks, need basic intros.
