This definitely has some Microsoft Edge vibes to me.

Same. I’ll definitely stay here.
I really hope that won’t be the case. So far I like Lemmy and the vibe here a lot and am not afraid to comment somewhere which was the case on Reddit. I hope it stays that way, guess we’ll see that after the blackout.
It’s a first for me. I wanted to join Mastodon but didn’t know what instance to choose and was generally confused about how everything works so I didn’t create an account. With Lemmy it was different since I really wanted to join. So I took my time to figure everything out and it is way less complicated than I initially thought. But I get why it might seem confusing at first, especially subscribing to communities on different servers.
Same. I think this might also be one of the reasons people join larger instances (besides not knowing where to go). At least it was like that for me. I really hope we see that feature sooner than later. Maybe I’ll try setting up my own instance when I have enough time to figure out how that works.
Would be really cool! Until then I enjoy Lemmy as it is. I’m happy to have found this place including the awesome community here.
I also wouldn’t want them merged. But I would find it great if I could kind of curate my own “front pages”. E.g. creating a page for myself called “Technology” and adding all the tech communities that I follow to it so that I can see all posts in one place.
I feel you. On Reddit I was always afraid to get 1000 of comments telling me I’m stupid or how could I do xyz. I really like it here on Lemmy, everyone is just so welcoming and not at all mad that so many of us (former) Redditors are joining.
I already deleted all my comments and posts and when the time comes and RIF is down I’ll delete my whole account.
Same here, I’m glad Jerboa exists. Otherwise I wouldn’t even know if my account is active yet since I’m currently unable to log in on the desktop version of the instance I’ve chosen. Besides that and figuring everything out I enjoy it here so far.
Edit: Seems that a blank space after my username was the problem. Now everything works just fine.
Yes that’s true and I’m sure it isn’t that bad. I just don’t like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It’s kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn’t care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.
