I just joined Lemmy and so far I'm enjoying it. It's a little bit sparse in terms of content and users, but I think it has a really cool structure, and it feels more human than certain other social media sites.

I'm curious to know what users think about who is welcome here. Do you think it should be gates open, everyone including your aunt should join, or is it more exclusive to people interested in the fediverse as a starting point? Or something else?

Not trying to stir up shit, just genuinely curious about what the vibe is and where the community thinks it is or should be going.

Wanted to just say welcome! I mentioned in another comment, maybe not Lemmy, it's a bit technical right now, but Mastodon/PixelFed are pretty solid and easy to join right now, they may like the Twitter/Insta feel more anyway if they aren't used to Reddit.

Thanks for being here though! and if you're worried about stirring up shit then I think you can set those worries aside, you're fine here :)
