Stupid guess: Maybe the changed mac is written to e.g. an EEPROM and it ran out of write cycles and bugged out then.

Same, used to love it last time. But this time I won't participate.
I feel you.
But considering that the majority of instances have already blocked threads, there would not be much of a fediverse to federate with anyway once/if they do.
I should have guessed this would be a very unpopular opinion. Still think this is true.
Never used Instagram and barely ever FB. Never used twitter much anyway and a breed of Twitter and Meta seems like something I would never want anyway.
It seems people get some ego boost in saying: "We will not accept Threads in the fediverse". But since they have not even attempted yet and have such a massive success, because they'll probably dark pattern Instagram users into becoming threads users, they never need to consider using it anyway.
Odd. I can click the relative link in Connect but it errors with "Could not find a user with that id" and gives me a blank/nulled view. The search in conncect is also pretty broke imo and while I can find kbin.social things, the rust one doesn't even show up for a pretty explicit search.
Not an instance issue at least. Opening over the website and subbing from there worked. Lemmy apps seem to still have a long way to go.
Edit: Btw, I read some post about using lemmy and that relative link is the way to go.
Exact same lamo!
Not sure how good it is that the only remaining Social Networks are owner by Meta (I don't count YT as a Social Media as I never use it to engage in comments there).
Edit: Ig there is tiktok now, too. Still it makes Metas slice of the Social Media pie bigger.
It really like him too! He really seems like a hidden gem to me.
I have not been active on Reddit for a while. I mainly just doomscrolled a bit in the morning and evening. My habit for a long time.
During the blackout I still caught myself doing that but stopped it over the days afterwards. My feed mostly still worked but I also noticed the interesting posts I actually looked deeper into seemed to vanish (or I just doomscrolled less and didn't find them).
I've finally stopped that habit now (though I liked it since it was not excessive and hope to replace it with Lemmy).
Especially since my Reddit-App of choice, Infinity, will be switching to subscribe-only (decent way tbh) I don't see myself paying for it for the bit I use it. And I won't go back to the offcial app. That one started (literally!) draining my battery like crazy because Pi-Hole blocked the trackers and it kept Brute-Force attempting to connect to a specific one. My smartphone was hot for up to 2-3 hours after using reddit. I reported the issue, it got supposedly fixed, then returned a few days later (after which I switched to a 3rd party app). Otherwise I actually liked the official app and didn't have any (other) performance issues at all.

GrapheneOS does this by default as well.
