Lemmy doesn’t - yet. But it’s pretty easy to just make another account. ;)

My other account @EnglishMobster@lemmy.ml still exists, but it’s not like Mastodon where I have followers.

Does that mean these’ll finally be reasonably priced again???

Mastodon is “too confusing”, don’t you know??

It really seems like that’s the one area that ActivityPub in general could work on, though. It’s hard to change instances (I jumped from lemmy.ml to beehaw.org, for example, but you really can’t tell). Because it’s hard to change instances, choosing an instance is a pretty big choice.

But if instance-hopping was made easy… well, then you could have a default instance people land on that they could try out. Think of it like a Linux Live USB for the Fediverse. Just give them a neutral “default” and then offer them a way to filter into a smaller instance if they wanted.

That’s what BlueSky is leaning into, and I wish Mastodon had done the same. Lemmy kinda has this with lemmy.ml, but that’s more of an accident than anything else.

Reddit has a whole team of people who delete content. Because they’re a company, as well, individual people can’t be arrested by the FBI if they fail to do their job.

Before Reddit hosted images themselves, though, there was Imgur. I know Imgur was small - I’m not sure how they dealt with this sort of stuff. The answer may be “they didn’t and just got lucky”.

159 and climbing!

It’s already one of the top posts of all time. 😉
