Hmm, seems like the way to conform with this - is to post clear instructions on how to open a lemmy account and access the relevant community here instead - then the community will really belong to themselves, right?
(If a move to lemmy is going to work, we need to make sure that clear instructions are provided, and there is an easy map of existing subreddits over to new lemmy communities/channels.
I think the only thing that’s really missing is the whole subscribing to another instances sublemmies. Clicking a link here and being taken to another server and told to log in on a site for which we have no login as our Achilles heel at the moment.
But it’s not that I’m like going to new subreddits on Reddit used to be where you had to know /r/whatever now it’s /c/[email protected]
The only thing I find intimidating is following stuff from other instances. Even the word “instances” is going to send casual users scurrying. A feature of each instance should be the ability to search other instances seamlessly. Or, a centralized search function that instances can opt into would be awesome. One that can work from an app, so you never even have to worry about which instance you’re browsing.

I made an account, like, 15 minutes ago and it’s not too difficult. But yeah, a simple guide would’ve been really nice
