You picked... Wisely! Welcome! It might be slightly confusing at first but just browse and chat wherever you can!

You're correct that you can't just go to one community on one instance and see every new technology discussion that is taking place on Lemmy, but you CAN subscribe to all of the technology-related communities on different instances and scrolling through posts of communities you're subscribed to will show you all the discussions you want to see.
Ideally yes, but for a more niche community, federation is slower and posts don't get pushed through. I can see a lot of confusion when someone creates a niche sub because they thought it didn't exist, when in reality it does, and they were just the first to search for it from their server.
Oh how do you do that auto federation thing?
The problem is that federation doesn't work very well just yet. I see different subscriber stats based on which instance I view from. It's very confusing for a new user.
It doesn't help that there are people trying to cybersquat on communities. I see a lot of mods create 20 new communities with no content. That's not helping anyone.

Worker: "k bye"

Well this will bring me back to reddit... So I can vote out the mods who want to reopen the sub.
That was also why reddit became flooded with low effort pun chains. Why spend time writing a thoughtful reply for it to be buried, when u can make 5 puns and have 1 of them go to the top?
The gaslighting was my line in the sand. That's not how you do business.
And he had the gall to call it "leaking a private conversation" after that. Lol
Reddit spent years coming up with the shitty new.reddit UI. By the time they improve it again, humans would have landed on Mars
What's stopping the entire mod team from nuking the sub? They can remove all formatting, ban the entire userbase and remove all mod bots.
The best chance of succeeding is federation across both. The user base on both is already small, there's no need for this us-vs-them mentality.
You can tilt your head 90 degrees too.
