It's not that difficult. Lemmy is like email. You need an instance to host your account like gmail, outlook or gmx, but you can still send/receive emails with everybody else.

I appreciate the reply, but I think that's a bit oversimplified. Gmail, outlook, etc. doesn't have "topics" and the instance you join does matter to some degree, which is not the case for email.
