Yes, but things can change. Stories of Mastodon and Lemmy are inspiring. When Reddit backslash happened, Lemmy was already there as a good alternative for people to switch to. So was the case of Mastodon with the Twitter exodus. It’s good that we’ve Pixelfed, it may be just a matter of time.
Stories feature is there. But I haven’t used it myself, so I can’t tell more about it.
You’re enjoying the benefits of federation, by having the ability to grow “your” community with people across the fediverse rather than with only the people on the same instance as yours. So that’s the price you have to pay. Also, in the long run, communities will grow naturally based on the quality of the content and not just because they have popular names!

Asymmetric cryptography was a game changer, before that communicating parties had to exchange the secret keys used for encryption which was very risky.
Mastodon supports account migration. You can export the list of your followers and the accounts you follow as CSV and import them from another instance. But there’s no option to import posts yet.
Also, note that when you migrate all followers in the old account will get automatically unfollowed.

There is also joshuto, another ranger clone, written in rust.
I use ranger with zoxide plugin, very handy. I even use it inside neovim as well, using rnvimr plugin.
Covid helped that I guess.
Earth is flat!
