I know it may be a lot of users' first time using something that is decentralized like this. As I've been a Fediverse user for some time, I had been waiting for a big migration like this to happen as it usually happens with Twitter every now and again. Welcome to Fedi, hope you enjoy your stay!

Would be willing to answer any questions about the Fediverse that people viewing this post may have, by the way. Don't be shy :)

Ok, dumb question: Can I use my Lemmy account to access Mastodon? If everything is interconnected on the Fediverse, I don't understand why I couldn't. If I can't, I don't understand how everything on the Fediverse is interconnected.

Another question: I think one of the pillars of Reddit is its searchability via Google Search. It makes it very worthwhile to invest writing high quality content on Reddit's communities if you know that it has wider implications.

What's the state on discoverability through search engines for Lemmy? I suppose a major problem here is that all content of a federated server is at risk of getting lost forever if the owner winds it down.

Ok, here's a question. I'd like a community for one of my favorite games, but I don't think I'll have the time/commitment to moderate it. Also frankly I'm so new to Lemmy, and have been such a light user of Reddit, that is as likely as not that I'll just disappear for extended periods. I don't know enough yet to know whether creating it and then going AWOL would be a major problem for others who would also like the community to exist. Thoughts?
