I'm happy to be here. Lemmy seems like a good place so far. I'm not sure if it will take off in the long term (I think a lot of people don't "get" the whole federated thing, just like with Mastodon), but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Mastodon has gotten really good at obfuscating the federation away in normal use, Lemmy and Kbin are picking up those tricks a lot faster.
For example, v18 made linking communities possible by just typing the name, and Lemmy then handles making it a working link on each instance.
The trickiest part will be having users pick an instance, but once past that hurdle, the federation aspect doesn't need to be a complicating factor.
Noice. To the moon!
Anyone got a tutorial on deleting reddit comments and accounts?
The only way to delete your content is to delete everything one-by-one. Then, you can delete your account. If you don't delete the content first, the content stays on the site but the authorship changes from your username to [deleted].
~~Most are bots though
Many instances have over 40k total users but only 10 people or so active
I think about 250k is the number of real people (still very impressive)~~
