@lemmy.worldEdit: thanks everyone for the suggestions!
Do keep them coming as it might be helpful for others who come across this, since it seems quite a few users are (understandably) bleeding from lemmy.world these days, like myself
I was looking for a solid instance to move to, but I'm getting burned out from trying to find the perfect instance that:
The tool I used is lemmyverse.net but it seems the filtering isn't working great, or I just don't understand it, e.g. I filter by Italian language and the only Italian instance I know (feddit.it) doesn't show up, while a slew of irrelevant ones is listed (Lemmy Português is there??)
Sorry if I sound so needy, maybe I'm just overthinking it, since posts are public and indexable by anyone. Do say so, if I should chill out and just pick one of the usual ones like lemm.ee etc.
P.S. I would love to self-host, but I'm currently not able to either, I don't have enough technical expertise.

Come to @tumblr. We'll add activitypub for interconnect. Don't stress.

Update 2: Finally did it by following the first option I explained in my own comment (i.e. backup and reinstall)
Update 1: I also updated the UEFI just to be sure and the issue persists as expected
Sorry if the post is long, trying to give each relevant detail.
My system has two drives, the first for Linux and the second for Windows.
Initially I had OpenSUSE MicroOS on the first and I could boot into Windows through the UEFI, but then I installed Fedora on it and lost the ability to get into Windows since. I thought that it had a boot partition on its own drive, but I guess I was wrong since now that I checked the partitions, there is no FAT32 partition on there.
(in text form)
nvme0n1 931,5G disk
├─nvme0n1p1 16M part
├─nvme0n1p2 930,8G part BitLocker
│ └─bitlk-66306 930,8G crypt ntfs
└─nvme0n1p3 692M part ntfs
Unlike on my Linux drive
(in text form)
nvme1n1 931,5G disk
├─nvme1n1p1 600M part vfat /boot/efi
├─nvme1n1p2 1G part ext4 /boot
└─nvme1n1p3 929,9G part crypto_LUKS
└─luks-353e522f-c0f3-4167-99fc-90d576a734e8 929,9G crypt btrfs /var/home
So I probably destroyed the content of the boot files in its installation process.
I'm able to access my BitLocker encrypted drive through Fedora, so if I have to reinstall I can still make a backup (it wasn't very important to me either way).
I also fired up a Windows recovery drive to see if it detected the system and it does, I haven't yet looked at what the recovery drive can do, so if that's the key to solving this let me know.
So at this point I wonder: is there a way to restore the Windows boot option? Would I have to do it in some GRUB config or do I have to/can I create a boot partition on the Windows drive too and somehow write the bootloader there?
Don't get me wrong, bringing more visibility to the platform will always be good, but wanting to jump ship from e.g. Jerboa to a port of one of those proprietary apps (Boost, Sync, etc.) kinda defeats the point of using an open platform in the first place.
I fully believe that each app developer should get their work recognized and make their apps paid if they wanted, I'm sure many will be inclined to buy them from the store still because of the convenience and/or wanting to support the developer.
But I think alongside the API conversion there should also be a shift in the development paradigm that follows up on the culture of the whole platform, Lemmy is free (as in freedom I mean) software, most of the Fediverse is, of course no one forces you to make your client free too, but the developers should feel encouraged to embrace that way of working and in turn users should be attracted to options that were made so, that will also foster powerful growth of the platform when everyone can examine, learn and contribute since clients play a crucial part in the interaction with the service
