Looks great! How did it taste, that's the important part anyway.

Yes, but remember the 1% rule. 90% of users lurk, 9% comment, 1% contribute. The power users upset at this change are at least in the 9%, if not the 1%, and enough of them go, the site grinds to a halt for the other 90%.
At least here they're being shit on like the weak-willed idiots they are.

Well that was a frustrating read. I don't get it. Why are people so okay with reddit treating them like garbage?
As far as I know, no. Hello from someone who was trying to click a different link and this one popped up. I do know they're working on it on github.
I'm not on an instance with no downvotes, as I do think they have SOME purpose (though you're right that it is usually a bit of a disagree-so-shut-up button rather than anything else), but I agree with the rest. The content here is certainly slower. On reddit, I could just refresh the main page and have dozens of new posts to interact with- here, not so much. I don't think that's a bad thing, though. I still get my mindless scrolling when I'm poopin or something like that, but I'm spending a lot less time online than I did. I'm reading more, I'm working on my novels, I'm WAY more productive at work. I used RiF exclusively on my phone, and so I decided pretty soon after the API announcement that I was done. All the protest and reddit's hilariously mismanaged response has done has cemented my resolve.
I play Warframe in spurts. There will be weeks where I play basically only Warframe, and months or years in between. Every time I return, I do the same thing. First, I open up the Foundry app and make sure it's up to date with what I have. Then I go to the Reliquary and select the things I don't have, then just start making my way through, building the Primes I don't have. Since you haven't played in a long time, a lot of the Primes available will be new to you. In the meantime, between relic farming and opening them, I make sure to do the sorties every day. That will get you back into the game, then you can start exploring the new content more once you're comfortable again.
The only reason federation wasn't working was because they had to turn on CloudFlare protection just to keep the site from crashing. That interfered with federation. Assuming they're able to upgrade enough to handle the traffic, they'll federate as easily as lemmy does.
As far as I know, it's from when Lemmy had much less activity. The new posts would move your feed, but it would happen very slowly. With the influx of redditors fleeing that site (me included), it seems to be happening more frequently, and I know there's an open issue on github about it.
Opening Apollo was basically the first thing I did when waking up (don't judge me Lol).
It was RiF for me. No judgement here. I'm hoping Lemmy will fill the gap, but honestly, it's kind of nice not being on my phone as much. I've read more in the past week than in months because of reddit's fuckery.
The part that confused and pushed me away is the fact that depending on which email server you sign up for, you may not be able to send or receive an email to a server that may or may not already exist. If the person/group that runs the instance you signed up for defederates something, you're out of luck if you wanted to use that instance without making a dedicated account over there. It also doesn't help that the federation of different instances isn't automatic or retroactive. Someone on your instance has to subscribe to something on another instance for the federation to start, and it only starts pulling content from that point forward. If you want to see older content you have to go to that instance at a minimum, and maybe sign up for that instance depending on what it is. Those are the biggest factors against the Fediverse, in my opinion.
Not that I know of without going to that instance, and possibly signing up on that instance depending on how they have it set up. Then to actually subscribe you have to manually copy the URLs into the search bar of your home instance. It's definitely an issue, and I hope they streamline subscribing to remote communities soon.
