I just signed up through this lemmy.world thing. Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? This federation thing could be better explained.
Nonetheless, I find Reddit's disrespect for its users to be an ill omen. A 1-month deadline for anything as deeply ingrained as 3rd-party apps sends a clear message that Reddit doesn't want to compromise. On the desktop, I use old.reddit.com, but for mobile, I use 3rd-party apps from the open-source F-Droid app store. I don't mind ads, I just like my user interface to enhance my workflow, not slow me down, track me, and actively annoy me.
Felt like I was hacking the matrix just trying to sign-up and post anything on here, lol
Welcome. It’s rough, but the more people come over the better it’ll get! Really feels like Reddit 15ish years ago.
But you have passed the lemmy test, welcome to the Community!
Starting to feel like home around here.
Welcome home!

The reboot is progressing.
I bow down to our H‑E‑B Gods. They bring the goods.
It’s like old school Reddit. I dig the feeling.
