So, I was trying to use the official “web app” for Lemmy, and, once again, it’s just a link to Github. I’m no programmer and I just want to use the app, but have no clue what all those files are for. The tutorials on YouTube are like 1 hours long and are intended for programmers. It kind of happens more and more (links to github) and it gets me anxious every time. I am not a digital idiot at all, but this lacks information. Thanks!
For the Web-app, you don’t need to do anything other than going to Lemmy.world or Lemmy.ml the webmaster who set up that site has already installed the Lemmy-ui web app on their site and that’s what you see. A web-app is an app that you install on a website. If you decide to create your own Lemmy server you would then install it on your new server.
