I feel there are a lot of philosophical and practical similarities between the FediVerse and the open source operating system world. That's why a lot of people tend to be on both.
The thing about the FediVerse is that you are the only responsible for your feed. Try looking for different content, different people, or different instances, to find more content that resonates more with you and follow those accounts and communities.
I do see some cases where "experience using our product is a plus", but the way it was told you as a "negative feedback" I feel is wrong.
They probably don't want to spend time training a new employee on their product, which to me is a huge red flag. You dodged a bullet there.
My country (Brazil) doesn't have any regulations about it. Don't know about the EU.

I remember sitting with my wife, waiting to get the train back home, holding the bag in my hands. That's when it hit me. I started to cry, loudly.
I'm Brazilian and here in Brazil there's no well defined culture on what to do with family names. Legally, you can come out with a complete new family name at the moment of marriage, with the only rule that both people should have it.
In my case, my parents already had some long names. Dad 1 2 3 and Mom 4 5. Both me, my sister and my mom end up with 4 5 2 3, I believe because pressure from my grandparents.
By the way, having four family names, like I do, is not very common in Brazil. It is more common to have two, both the last names from the parents, e.g. Dad 1 2 and Mom 3 4 would result in Baby 4 2, with one of the parents optionally taking those names too (traditionally the woman).

If you like visual art, Mastodon.Art can be a good place to start.
If you are from Europe, there are a few official accounts at https://social.network.europa.eu/directory
If you like memes, I strongly recommend @skeletor@mas.to and @SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to
If you need to get news, Flipboard is in the process of federating its content, you can see a few users that are already able to be followed in this post: https://flipboard.social/@Flipboard/111926711889817950
Hope this helps.
As @flamingos@ukfli.uk said, there's an API endpoint for that, so third party clients can show it, even if the web interface do not.
I happen to use Boost for Lemmy on my Android and I can see all my upvotes and downvotes on my profile page.
A few things I really liked about this episode:
First, is good to see Lemmy being mentioned before Mastodon when the theme is Fediverse. Everybody here knows the "Fediverse is not only Mastodon", but it is very very good for it to be mentioned outside of our "bubble".
Also, Jakob is the second LMG crew member I have confirmed to be in the Fediverse, Emily Young being the first one ( @emilyyoung@tech.lgbt go follow her). But Emily always was the "weird person that uses Linux" in the videos, so it was not a surprise for me she was using "alternative social media". Jakob was a surprise for me. Is he a weird and funny person? He is! But I didn't get the "Fediverse vibe" from him. Which is good. Very good.
Again, is good to see the Fediverse start to show in (a little) more mainstream media. In such positive way.
Jakob, I have a feeling you're reading this comments. I love your work, good to see you here. Hope you bring more people to the Fediverse. Keep being you.
I'm just waiting for the president of my country to start federating, then I can follow him from Mastodon and delete my Threads account.
I see it as a positive thing

There's a problem with that on smaller instances.
You can only see hashtags from people your instance already knows (someone follows them). On bigger, well-connected, instances this is not as problematic.
But, no matter the size of the instance, it just shows how even the "hashtag experience" depends on the "following experience".
It is for everyone. I'm not a photography nerd and have an account that I post sporadically.
If you want to browse any instance, you can go to that instance home page and click "explore". Example: https://pixelfed.social/web/explore
Hope you accomplish your mission to bring your friends to FediVerse. It is a little sad that the communication with Lemmy is not good at the moment.
decimeter is a good measure because one cubic decimeter (1 dm³) equals one liter ( 1L )
I've just tested it. You just need to tag the community in the text of your Pixelfed post.

Enough said
Not blind, but I have two followers on Mastodon who are, and I asked about their experience.
They said the "Mastodon etiquete" of describing images makes it better to use than any of the "mainstream" social media they use.
Since I found they are following me I doubled down on describing images. It is specially pleasant trying to describe a meme the funniest way possible.
Oh. For sure 😃

I've made the move a few years ago. I really like the "IDE" experience instead of the "code editor" one.
"Oh, but it takes so much RAM", yup... So does all those electron apps I have to use alongside VSCode, that are built in webstorm...
One way to ensure your comment to federate the way you are expecting is to mention the original group (community) of the thread. This way, Lemmy will receive the comment on the group's inbox and propagate to all federated servers.
Another behavior I found is that replies to non federated comments (as the one you showed in the op) will be announced to all federated servers. More details I found here: https://seb.jambor.dev/posts/understanding-activitypub-part-2-lemmy/

They have some discount for open source, students and other things. You can send them an email and explain your situation, you'll never know...
Here's a tip for you: their beta version (EAP) is always free, but not available all the time, if you're fine with some plugins not working
Pixelfed has a "stories" feature. It's only on the website version (no apps) and it's labeled as "beta".
You are correct that exception implies "deficiency". But, in my view, I think you're approaching it the wrong way.
Firstly, recognizing that a "class" is "deficient", in the sense of having special needs, is neither insulting nor problematic. A child has different needs then an adult, which are different from an old person. Not creating "exceptions" for a huge class as children or elderly is the problematic behavior. The same applies for gender, race, religion, and other "class" of people which are not of "cultural dominance".
So, if the society does to provide "exceptions" for this "classes" of people, the society itself is the one that is "deficient" in providing the needs of its people. Specially if that "system" is already created without those classes of people in mind. Shouldn't a restaurant, built on the top of a stairway, create a way for persons on wheelchairs to enjoy its food? Or is it insulting for those people to have an accessible way that the majority of the people will not use?
I also started on a very small company. Worked there as Junior developer for about 3 years. I was on the same spot as you are right now. One day, I received a call from a friend who started working on a bigger company in a different state (I live in Brazil), saying they were hiring. I figured I could at least try their technical tests to see where should I improve.
So I applied for the junior position. They thought my test solution was good, so I got to the interview phase. To my surprise, the interview was not for the junior position, but for the medior one (don't know the correct term, but higher than junior but lower than senior), and receive the job proposal on the next week.
I agree with @MagicShel@programming.dev's comment: "you need exposure to other environments, other ideas, other technologies and frameworks in order to grow". And it goes both ways. Without testing yourself, you'll never know how much you did grow and where you are.
So, my advice to you is: do not wait until you feel "ready" to do the move. It may "click" too late. If you want to move on, just do it. At least you will test yourself, and know how to correct your course, if you need to aim higher ou lower than originally intended.
Brazilian Portuguese does have lots of anus related sayings.

I used to listen while commuting, but since now I work from home, I tend to listen while doing the dishes.
You know, I've seen worse than hate here. I've seen apathy.
Yeah, I don't like mastodon art moderation either, and I wouldn't recommend signing up there. But that doesn't change the fact that there are a lot of artists there willing to spread their work.
I was a mod when they picked a fight with a "sister" instance from mine. I saw the MO of the adm. But also found that most of the users there were not even aware of what was happening.
Anyway, OP. Follow whoever you want, just be aware that if you cannot follow someone from mastodon art is because they chose to block your server. Is not personal.
You can post directly to a Lemmy community from Mastodon. But there's no way to do some kind of "cross-post" directly from a Mastodon post.

Perfectly balanced, as everything should be
+1 to ZorinOS recommendation.
It's beautiful, and has a lot of "oh, you came from Windows" user interactions. Like how it recommends similar programs from the store if you run a Windows installer, or installs and configures wine if you still want to run the .exe.
I use it myself even as an "older" Linux user.
No. Lemmy (and any other FediVerse service) can be targeted for take over from any corporation. But there's a few things that prevents from thinks like... Idk, Facebook buying Instagram or Musk buying Twitter:
Tl;Dr: we are not free of corporate interest, but we have tools to prevent a corporate dominance.
Yes. I like to read.
That depends if your instance has one or have someone already subscribed to one community with content like that.
I've found two instances that specialize in nsfw content: lemmynsfw.com (requires login to see nsfw) and pornlemmy.com
If your instance has no problems with that content, subscribing to communities on those instances may help other cultured people such as yourself in the future.
I believe it's how the data is structured.
Lemmy is focused on themes and topics, with the "user" not being the focus (you can't even follow a user on Lemmy).
That's reversed on Mastodon, with focus on the users you follow, and the topics (hashtags, groups, etc) being optional.
For some people, Lemmy is better, for others, Mastodon or other microblog platform. The fact that both can exist in the same network is magical to me.
