Edit: Apparently it's not maintained any more.
It doesn't look possible to add a different instance. Even trying to add lemmy.ml again shows "Instance not found".

Use something that supports CalDAV and use a sync app (DAVx5 for Android, for example). This will need a computer that hosts the calendar, something globally accessible running radicale or a similar caldav/carddav server. If you can't host it yourself email services typically also provide CalDAV access. GMail used to provide CalDAV endpoints, not sure if they still do. Fastmail provide CalDAV calendars, but it's not free.
It's never been about the API. Third party apps are undercutting Reddit's as revenue. They could never ban the apps outright so they set an obscene cost for API calls to indirectly kill them. They have probably factored in the potential loss of users already and it probably ain't much.
Unlikely. When users left Digg for Reddit the internet was smaller and the users more technically minded. And even then it was essentially just creating a new account. You need an one stop solution for users to migrate and federation by definition isn't that. As a result discovery (and growth) is still hard even for Mastodon that's been around for a while and it's a relatively mature platform.
Got in not expecting much but had great fun. It really scratched that futurama itch. Too bad it looks dead :-(
Set up fstrim to run once a week or so and scrub your disks periodically. It will not fix any errors unless you have a RAID but it will still tell you if there are any corrupted blocks. If you delete large blocks of data you might want to rebalance every now and then. You really shouldn't need to do maintenance on a filesystem.
