I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

Is there a way I can follow that without having to create a new account? Still trying to figure everything out

Someone needs to make an extension that seamlessly manages federations and servers like that, since it is going to be the worst part of switching

Hate to repost the same thing, but this might help in that regard: https://sh.itjust.works/post/70143

It's not really an extension, rather its a GreaseMonkey script, but it does simplify the process quite a bit by redirecting a community to your local instance. I've found it has simplified my workstream. I'm sure there will be extensions and other utilities to come in the near future.
