That has nothing to do with the subject
If I send you (assuming you're an average person) a link to lemmy.world, that site has a basic signup. That is the same as virtually any site. There is no functional difference between joining reddit, and joining a lemmy instance. The only difference is you're not in a walled garden here.
I know freedom is scary if you're not used to it, but try it for a while. Once you get used to it, you'll find the corporate web is stale and banal.
You can't expect things to be different if you're applying old ways of thinking and looking at things, and trying to box the new into being the very thing you migrated away from.
