I had a few people join Blurt via the Discord Account-Creation link shared on X.com and Nostr ….

But it is not easy for them to figure everything Out. Even basic things like Posting Key , lower case hashtags etc etc…. I had the same problems when I joined Steemit.com 7 years ago. Nothing has improved with the sign up process …. The same on Hive / Ecency …. It is very difficult to Join Blurt, Steemit or Hive and even make your first post.
I don't think onboarding is that hard at all, especially people who have ever used a crypto wallet at the very least. https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@kencode/hive-onboarding-problem

Also, regarding logging in to Google or other popular services, there is the so-called expectancy-value theory effect. Google and Facebook are popular and everyone knows what to expect from them and why they register there. Even if it requires a lot of effort for someone and for example for an elderly person it is complicated, they can often devote an entire day to finding out how because they are determined to be there because for example all their friends are there.
In the case of blurt users often do not know what they are dealing with and what exactly the benefits will be. Sometimes they also approach blurt with suspicion. The level of motivation to find out what and how is therefore low. That's probably why one of the two heads of the groups that come to us are hive/steem users (who already know what and how) and people introduced by friends (who have this level of motivation based on the principle of my friend is there and recommends it and how he wants to be)
