cant mount home on boot

Im giving a go fedora silverblue on a new laptop but Im unable to boot (and since im a linux noob the first thing i tried was installing it fresh again but that didnt resolve it).

its a single drive partitioned to ext4 and encrypted with luks (its basically the default config from the fedora installation)

any ideas for things to try?

The error says /home is a symlink, what if you ls -l /home?

Since this is an atomic distro, /home might be a symlink to /var/home.
- yes it is a symlink to /var/home
  
  So shouldn't you mount your home partition on /var/home instead?
  
  This feels like a winning strategy
- the command returns my user dir and a lost+found dir
  
  that actually sounds like it's already mounted
  
  What's in lost+found
