Well you've done the hard part and managed to find Lemmy, make an account and post something. Doing great so far.
This is nationally a reddit replacement and works similarly. It does have less content and is more fragmented (search for memes communities and see how many ones there are across instances), but it's a good experience and has helped me stop using reddit completely. I would recommend browsing by "all".
Finding a good app or frontend helps improve the experience. I use Boost on Android and Alexandrite on desktop.
It looks like Reddit and functions like email, which is to say it mostly doesn’t matter what service you signed up with, they all interact for the most part. We have some bad people on a couple of instances but either they don’t interact with the rest of us or the rest of us don’t interact with them. Sometimes instances disagree on politics or something and there’s drama, but you can safely ignore most of it.

Hiii! Yes, my friend recommended this place and I had never heard of it before. He said it was better than reddit. 😃

It kinda works lite reddit, but without any central authority.
