Also my timing was so perfect that just as I tried to log in after getting the confirmation email, it went down. Needless to say I was kinda scared that I did something for a second before realizing that was rather unlikely

I've been looking at different Lemmy communities the second pushshift was down (and let's just say finding things on Reddit suddenly became a lot harder because the built-in search function is kinda limited in a bunch of ways), and just made my account today out of random chance essentially LOL
Based on my experiences on Reddit, I've honestly found that voting is not just incredibly easy¹, but also something that at least I found myself engaging with when I didn't want to write a comment myself LOL
¹ due to the very local results of votes in this kind of format, it doesn't have the same feel as, say, a thumbs up on YouTube (and I very rarely engage with thumbs up etc as a result there), if that makes sense? Like, it's limited to that particular level of the conversation
There's some communities on Reddit that don't yet exist in other places; so I'm going to continue browsing those rarely; but once they move somewhere else I'm moving with them.
