Emmerich is also just an old-fashioned German name. I would assume that the name Amerigo is derived from the name Emmerich, not the town Emmerich.

Like the other person said, probably not necessary, but I heard that account migration is one of many features that are planned. However, I would assume the immediate priority of the devs is making sure lemmy can handle the influx of reddit migrants and run smoothly with a high number of users, so it might be a while before features like that get implemented.
https://the-federation.info/platform/73 also shows close to 60 000 monthly active users, of above 2 million total users (accounts). It should be said that a lot of those 2 million accounts are on instances with above 50 000 accounts and only a handful of active users, so probably bot accounts due to no captchas or other barriers on those instances. On the other hand, not all real accounts are active if they're just lurkers, so actual number of "real" accounts could be quite a bit higher.
Agreed. I've no idea what u/[email protected] is talking about. I'm pretty sure I've personally never seen it used as a slur. What I've seen is people not knowing what it means and assuming it's one of them there evil genders, so maybe some people think it's meant as a slur, but imo that says more about their ignorance than the word itself.
Two apps for android that look promising are liftoff and thunder. Both still early stages, but seem decent enough for now. There's also wefwef, but I haven't really tried it yet.
At wet-bulb temperatures of 35 °C or above you do, actually, if you're exposed to them for longer. Your body can then no longer cool by sweating and just keeps getting heated up by the environment. And old people in partiuclar do regularly die due to heat even at much lower wet-bulb temperaturs.
