I rather like how total karma isn’t tracked. I wonder how other people feel though?

I think creating too many accounts as you try to find a home and figure out what instances are is a normal thing. I certainly did it as well 😂

You can think of each instance as a separate reddit website. The magic of the fediverse is all these separate full on websites are still the same thing and can interact with each other!

You can! With a few caveats.

However it won’t work if your instance doesn’t know the community exists. In those cases it needs to be searched for in the usual cumbersome way, but after that the relative links should work.

It felt a bit off at first to not have the top comments all be the ones with the most votes, but I like how it works on lemmy after spending time here.

You can join an old thread and not feel like it’s pointless to add to the discussion!

On the main page you can toggle the Subscribed | Local | All thing to get different feeds. You can set the default in your settings.
