The problem with the Fediverse as it currently stands is it goes against my long time use of forums. I'm usually only logged in on a desktop where I would post comments from. Most of my reading happens on pad, mobile or work where I have little desire to log in and in the case of a work computer I refuse to log in to anything personal. Kind of defeats the purpose of the whole thing...

Not sure why you couldn't continue doing so with Lemmy. Like reddit, you only need an account to participate, not browse.

Ya, I figured that out when I decided to give it a go and sign up. It takes two screens that look like one needs to sign up (just about everywhere else on the net would require it with a similar screen) but then it lets you pick a server without signing up. There is a big improvement they could implement: make it more obvious with less screens that you can browse without logging in...
