Yes. That would be the same as a persistent USB drive. Just plug in the external drive, run the live CD installed in your USB drive and install Linux Mint on the external drive instead.

Yeah, since v0.19.0.
You basically never see anything that comes from lemmy.ml. Some instances like hexbear are worthy of being blocked by everyone. Though afaik most instances with sane admins have already long defederated with them so yeah.

Absolutely.
I'll self host my own forgejo instance soon.
lemmy.world afaik has one or had one.
It's best to just block the lemmy.ml instance.
I agree. Instead of pseudocode, using a simple language like Python that is pretty understandable seems to be a better way of representing your idea.
ActivityPub is a protocol for decentralized platforms to talk to each other. What you want contradicts with what the protocol was designed for. This pretty much means you are just looking for another centralized social media platform, in that case the Fediverse is clearly not for you. Please go back to Reddit or Twitter or whatever and never look back.
lemmy.world is already the biggest instance, why direct people there? It wouldn't be any different than a centralized platform (Reddit) if all the newcomers register there. Direct them to other instances instead.
Some instances have some questionable admins and some communities questionable mods but generally better than reddit.
No problem
