I believe this is being improved in the v1.0 release of Lemmy coming soon:

This sounds like a moderation nightmare. Just create a troll account on one instance and now you can use it to login to every other instance and start spreading hate. When that instance bans you then you just move to the next instance? These instance admins don't even see your signup application, they can't stop you?
most of the replys seem to be, "it's too hard/confusing to sign up" we won't get these people to sign up anyways
I often see people on Reddit saying they had issues with the confirmation email, definitely something for instance admins to look into
and I think Lemmy now allows resending so that's good
usually when I tell someone what an instance is, I throw a few synonyms in there
I feel like just saying "instance/proxy" can help, providers sounds good too, also gateways, servers, relays...
I made an old discussion about this actually
maybe the idea is that round keys will have less typos than rectangular keys that are all touching each other?
Also hashtags don't help federation at all, groups/communities will "boost" the post so it federates to all the followers
Have you tried Deus Ex Randomizer? We have an unusually high number of Steam Deck players
The 7th Guest VR will be speedrun on Wednesday!
After that play the prequel, Before the Storm
IDK, people will probably eventually leave Reddit, as they left Digg and Myspace and many others. Where would they go aside from the Fediverse? Almost all new alternatives being built are using the Fediverse, and it's the only way to get more than 1000 users currently.
It might not be Lemmy, it might even be a platform that doesn't exist yet, but they'll be here in the Fediverse with us.
Most platforms die or never catch on at all, but the Fediverse allows the platforms to rotate in and out without losing the users or content.
