This definitely has some Microsoft Edge vibes to me.

Same. I'll definitely stay here.
I really hope that won't be the case. So far I like Lemmy and the vibe here a lot and am not afraid to comment somewhere which was the case on Reddit. I hope it stays that way, guess we'll see that after the blackout.
I'm not in the community and I don't get it either. Why can't people just let other people be themselves (if they don't hurt anyone of course and aren't mean and such)? I'm so sorry that you feel this way because you shouldn't have to for just being you. I do my best and point people out if they use hateful language and why that's hurtful to someone.
It's a first for me. I wanted to join Mastodon but didn't know what instance to choose and was generally confused about how everything works so I didn't create an account. With Lemmy it was different since I really wanted to join. So I took my time to figure everything out and it is way less complicated than I initially thought. But I get why it might seem confusing at first, especially subscribing to communities on different servers.
Love that song! I always have to think about the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland when listening to it.
I already deleted all my comments and posts and when the time comes and RIF is down I'll delete my whole account.
For me it definitely is the energy between the band and the crowd and how the band engages with the crowd. I don't like it when the band just plays their songs without interacting. It also is the crowd for me itself. I've seen Flogging Molly a few times and everybody just seems so happy to be there, enjoying the show and looking out for each other. It's just a whole other vibe.
I'll do the same. RIF is Reddit to me, no RIF = no Reddit.
Same issue here, just with another instance. I'm also using Jerboa to access anything.
Edit: For me the issue was a blank space after my username. I deleted it and then it worked for me.
Same here, I'm glad Jerboa exists. Otherwise I wouldn't even know if my account is active yet since I'm currently unable to log in on the desktop version of the instance I've chosen. Besides that and figuring everything out I enjoy it here so far.
Edit: Seems that a blank space after my username was the problem. Now everything works just fine.
Yes that's true and I'm sure it isn't that bad. I just don't like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It's kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn't care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.
