Just started my ergo adventure, but I have questions...

  1. It hasn't affected my ability to use a normal keyboard. Using my laptop to type occasionally probably helps with this.
  2. Can't help you, I stuck with QWERTY
  3. My favorite feature of my ergo keyboard is the fact that it is split, so I could see the appeal of a split but otherwise normal keyboard. But, I would recommend sticking with the Moonlander. It took me 2 weeks until I was comfortable typing after I switched. Not fast mind you, just comfortable. Then maybe another month until I didn't have to look down for special keys. Definitely a time investment, but worth it in my opinion.

What are people’s thoughts on Threads?

The practice of "embrace, extend, extinguish" comes to mind with this. If Lemmy becomes 90% Threads then Meta can make huge changes to the platform. This would be a bad outcome.

I do like the idea of companies being able to host their own instance and join Lemmy, but I can't imagine that going well until Lemmy is already strong on its own.

I'm happy to be defederated with them, but I also have my (pure speculation-based) doubts about the platform lasting long enough to make a difference.
