I’m personally a Firefox user since it has developed to be so much better imo. However I do have to give credit to Microsoft for having imo a better browser than Chrome despite the fact they are both Chromium based.

At the early stages no. It is vital we keep it open to get as many people through the door to promote fediverse. Eventually some people will create accounts in other instances.

Foe those that don’t know. Wherever you create an account, all the information stays on that particular instance. E.G. Lemmyworld lemmy.ml.

To reduce the load on a instance, users should create accounts on other instances that is geographically close to you and have plenty of server resources. This would lead to a smoother and faster user experience.

You will still be able to comment and interact with users and post on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml even if you created your account elsewhere. (Unless the instance your account is created on gets defederated).

The barrier to entry is super high but hopefully websites and apps are developed to make it easier for people to join. (Sync for Lemmy)

Let’s also do out part and post/comment to add content to this website to make it appealing for new users.
