I use Arch btw but got into Linux with Mint and I'm glad I did. Really solid distro!

Lemmy active users grew by an astounding 1600% in June in c/fediverse

I'm glad to see Lemmy is getting so much attention, just hoping not many people give up and go back to Reddit after just 2 days lol

In my opinion, having multiple accounts in different apps and instances is better than trying to combine them into the smallest amount of accounts in c/fediverse

It takes a bit to get used to it IMO. Whenever I'm browsing another instance, it's a bit awkward having to copy the link of whatever post I want to share, then open my instance, then paste the link into the search bar, and finally actually press the share button. In addition to that, a few Mastodon instances are "private" and won't let you browse them unless you have an account in them, which feels off considering I technically already do have a Mastodon account lol.

I also found Lemmy to be incredibly janky so far whenever you're looking for content from other instances.

Really I think these things will be eventually sorted out as the Fediverse matures, but part of that maturing process will probably be having a way of uniting accounts on multiple instances or maybe even multiple platforms. After all, as long as this is just an option, people who don't like it will still be able to have separate accounts on separate instances.
