Yes, it will copy everything related to that profile. The passwords are stored in the key4.db file so it shouldn’t be copied in that situation.
Then there’s also the sync feature which might import the passwords even if the file has been deleted, so the sync needs to be disabled on the work pc.
Copying the profile folder should do it
You should also copy profiles.ini (which indicates the path of the working/available profiles)
Generally speaking, this should also work for other forks, but it might depend on which versions the forks are based on. If they are too behind the version that the profile is from then there might be “forwards compatibility” issues, for example in the way specific files/databases are structured (but maybe not, this is just a guess).
Also note that since forks tend to have different default values for some settings then if you didn’t explicitly set them through a user.js file or directly in prefs.js (or another method) then you would get the default from the fork instead of the one from the main version.
The pressure to review thousands of horrific videos each day – beheadings, child abuse, torture – takes a devastating toll on our mental health
What could be a solution for dealing with that? I wouldn’t want to be exposed to that type of content even if I was paid to do so and had access to health support to deal with the aftermath every time.

I remember hearing about a similar experiment from the 70’s in Canada

a kindergarten-level understanding of German.
I love the serendipitous use of kindergarten, with it being of German origin :)
I fear that this will be used as a pretense to have a Real ID tied to all of your online accounts, and that it will be publicly facing.
And then if people come to your house after you share a wrongthink, or if part of who you are clashes with “the good ole days”, well then that’s just an unintended but necessary evil, so sit down and shut up.
Pro- the SSD will live longer
Con- the RAM will fill up more, especially when opening resource-heavy pages (though there’s a way to unload inactive tabs so that might not be that big of a deal, and especially if you have enough RAM to spare)
Personally I’ve been using memory-only cache for about a decade (half on HDD, half on SSD) and I don’t think I’ve noticed any adverse effects from that. (though I rarely have more than 5 tabs open at once)

Also, related, is there a way to list communities available from a specific instance? Like if I wanted to see all communities local to Lemmy.world or something (that’s not my local instance), can I do that? If so, how?
Click on Communities at the top of the page, https://lemm.world/communities (make sure the selected tab is Local), though unfortunately it’s a paged list and not all communities in one page.
check out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for searching for communities, though not all will show up. You can also use a specific instance to search for communities like - https://lemmy.world/search?q=networking&type=Communities (make sure the All tab is selected)
