I just joined lemmy and this is the first social media service where I could grab my short username instead of a longer one no one uses I'm very glad
You could always host your own instance and be the only user with your special user and connect to other instances' communities.
Ditto!
I typed my old Reddit username in at first then said “wait a minute…”, somehow nobody took my simple first name in the first several hundred thousand accounts created!
Usernames only have to be unique on each instance, kind of like email. Even if Lemmy is growing exponentially, not all that growth will be on lemmy.world.
I've always been able to grab my username. Of course, I originally (in a different context) tried "timholt", which was taken, then "thetimholt", which was also taken.
You're very grad
