I'd heard about Lemmy a good while back, but there wasn't much interest in it until the Reddit API kerfuffle.
I really like the concept of federated social networks and breaking free of the big tech rage-baiting algorithms. Just give me a list of topics I can follow and let me sort and filter them how I want. Don't suggest or recommend things to me, especially if they're designed to make me angry just for sake of engagement.
Lemmy seems like it has a lot of potential in that regard, and I'm hopeful it's able to build a respectful user base. I'm primarily here to feel out the landscape and be the change I hope to see in the world.

r/piracy by captains orders since June 12 (this is my second account).
The less epidermic censor reaction, especially on these stupid boo-boo words: M$ for microsoft in Linux subreddit might get you in trouble or using inoffensive slur. It does not mean I'd shit everywhere on Lemmy but I just don't like language policing "ร la" Demolition Man. :)
Just installed an instance due to the reddit fiasco. Took a bit of work, but got ansible working.
Curious to see how things go from here.
it looked neat, works pretty well at current scale
The twitter diaspora instantly led me to the fediverse all
The thing that gets the cats killed.
