I like these federated services being kinda "rough around the edges" (programming.dev)

In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being "harder"* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies' services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

"harder" because not everyone understands the fediverse right away, since usability is extremely similar

How do I transfer my subscriptions to another server, though? Do you really just have to re-sub to everything all over again?

Because I have so many subs now…

Yes that's an annoyance but I would expect support for that in the medium term.

I made an account on a separate server just to test and it does indeed perform tons better. Just sucks there isn’t some way to “own” your user and download like a fingerprint of it on demand from a server, so you could easily transfer yourself somewhere else.
