WTheRtRevKaiser - you didn't post a link to the 'megathread' - I'm not sure I know where that is. Sorry... I need a tutorial for every suggested action ;)

Well, despite the difficulties translating to Federated platforms, I will certainly be working on alternative social platforms.

I no longer use Quora or Facebook...

I unsubscribed my 'YouTube' channels and added them as RSS feeds, so there's no need for me to be signed in there to consume content from creators I follow.

I hope that a month or two with the Fediverse will allow me to understand it better. I'm sure that many Fediverse users will also remain on Reddit and be able to advise folks on what to do.

If anyone on, for example, r/firefox announced activity over here, I'd follow them here. So whatever the 'bots' say, I know what's occurring in my corner.

Dead links don't help... join-X.org

I'm working on this, but getting onboard is very tough!

If I can work this out (being rather dumb) I can see a bright future being able to help and explain it to noobs...

Problem is, how will that work, if the noobs can't join a thread and get started?

Difficult.

I just found a post - which I wanted to add a comment to - but I'm now logged in with Lemmy.world - so when I opened that comment (link) in a new tab, I'm told that I can either log in, or subscribe here (copy/search [email protected]) which now shows 'Subscribe Pending'.

So basically, communication isn't being facilitated in this instance - this is a huge barrier. If a connection, or subscription is required to reply, then this needs to be automatic.
