1 0 ReplyHere, have some beans.
We don't do pay-a-social-media-ceo-to-win around here, we do beans. Practical, eatable, 100% all natural digital beans.

EDIT: oh right, a possibly useful warning:
About a month or two ago, lemmy seems to have attracted its first mass spam bot, dming thousands of users with basically a phising email.
If you get a message from 'Fediverse Chick', that's not her, someone stole her image, just block the user.

Haha it’s great because there’s always another instance where your username will be available.
Or you can choose to be something different on each instance.

(There always will be many good names available since every name can exist once on every instance)
