    That’s whats holding me back on fully moving to Lemmy. Aside from the smaller number of users and, consequently, content, the need to use more than one account and website can be really annoying.

      The whole concept of federation is that you only need to use one account and one website to access all the others.

      Maybe the thing we need to work on is educating people about how the fediverse works

      You don’t need more than one account. To follow other lemmy instances from your lemmy.world account, copy the full link from the other instances sub, and paste it in the search page on lemmy.world foudn by click the magnifying glass in the top right. It should pop up in the search result where you can subscribe.

            I believe you only see other lemmyworld.world users in the comments.

          part of the reason I spend most of my time on kbin. It works with all of those. Things will chang over time though and i think i just saw yesterday that theres some issue with lemmy.ml now. In any case, i agree, not being able to reach content isn’t a good experience.

      We went from everyone hosting their personal websites to thousands of blogs to a handful social media websites. The history has favoured homogenisation. Fediverse (not Lemmy) might be that one thing where everyone shares their thoughts; siloed social media websites like Reddit will probably become irrelevant in the future like the “internet” forums from the ‘00s are today.
