Eternal September:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
September was traditionally the time of new admissions in US collages and universitie. As a result of these institutes often being the first time many would gain access to Usenet September had areputation of clueless newbies flailing around until they either self selected out or adapted. In 1993 AOL gave their userbase Usenet access. Thus the term 'Eternal September' or 'The September that never Ends.'Luser:
Portmantu of Loser and User. Used Derisively in some online communities in the 90's to refer to new, and often clueless, users. -
Do you want me to make an alt? I'm not new anymore but I do account for quite some number when it comes to so called "monthly active user"

The best instance on lemmy grows ever stronger

I've noticed that every different social media medium/site has its own Eternal September moment. I think, optimistically, that we're still before that point. If we get popular and the general population arrives, it'll also attract the predatory ecosystem of state actors and corporate bullshit.
I think Lemmy and the Fediverse in general is resistant to that, but not immune. I expect an effort to create One Big Instance that most people use, or an oligarchy of large instances working together, like Microsoft and Gmail and co do with email.

Yeah... Lemmings are not perfect and ok with other people disabilities (^_-)

This is because lemmy.world defederated, right? So at this point would we recommend people to make a different account on an alternative server? Not a problem for those that have just joined, just delete and make a new account. But have there been any recent developments on migration tools for moving accounts to a new server while preserving account data?

Dam even switched over to Emacs. My dude you didn't have to go that far.
