What do you mean by "too much work"? I joined both lemmy.world and lemmy.ca yesterday (just to see how federation worked) and it was very quick and seamless. No more difficult than joining Reddit. You don't need to join multiple servers either, just one.

I joined the former today and can't log in. (That's fine. Scaling difficulties are a champagne problem.)

But first I had to spend about half an hour reading comments here to identify lemmy.world, as well as confirm I wasn't joining e.g. the Nazi server. I still don't understand what power I'm giving the admins of that server. I started looking into another server to join, but after looking at more posts, I'm not seeing a discussion that's pulling me in right now.

I don't want to look for data and join things. I don't have to do that on reddit. Overall I would say even with blackouts, reddit is still more interesting.
