Reddit has millions of active users.

It might be a little more complicated than normal social media and email but it definitely is not that complex.
the few who join will leave because of the steep learning curve.
what steep learning curve? what’s so steep about thinking of social media like email?
I know, I said "I can imagine that my freetime will be even less the moment I start working. " as well. I also spend at least 30 minutes doing my homework or studying for exams every day for 1-2 hours. So let’s say 6 hours of freetime
Lemmy has no addictive algorithms, so I doubt anyone would doom scroll.
Have fun. As I got older, I deeply regret not going out or doing fun activities now that I am in high school. I had so much fucking time, but I wasted them all on stupid bullshit. Now I have only like 7 hours of freetime, and I can imagine that my freetime will be even less the moment I start working.

I guess it’s time for you to create one. Feel free to post it in !newcommunities@lemmy.world too
Create what?
You can use wildcards:

You’ll be fine. As long as the wires don’t touch each other or get connected via some conductive liquid (e.g. water), nothing should happen. Cover it with something like electrical tape or some plastic cover for outlets just to be safe.
They are different platforms, so you can’t. If you remove ActivityPub from one Lemmy instance (or server), it would be just one centralized Reddit clone. What makes them special is that every public activity (like, comment, post, etc.) are all sent to other servers in the whitelist. This causes the other instances to also have the same content (copy), making the fediverse possible. Just because you can comment on your instance and that being displayed on some Mastodon instance does not mean you have another account there. Your comment was simply copied to that other Mastodon instance using the ActivityPub protocol.
If you want this so you can claim your comments, posts, likes, etc. on other federated platforms (e.g. Lemmy -> Mastodon), you can look into DIDs. DIDs allow users to have Decentralized IDentifiers. Which means the identity that your content are linked to is not locked into one instance. You can log in with your DID(s) anywhere that supports them.
The thing is that DIDs are still being discussed (or had been discussed) to decide how it would be implemented into ActivityPub. Bluesky, for example, uses DIDs. Which is why you can claim the ownership of your content from one instance on another. Do note that Bluesky does not use ActivityPub, but their own protocol called the AT protocol (which, in my opinion, just exists because they want to be different).
Oh ok. Mb
