So full disclosure, the instance is not 100% official since it is not hosted on kde infrastructure, as this would create too much work on KDE's sysadmin to maintain another service.

But I manage it, and I'm a long-term KDE contributor (5 years now), maintaining most user-facing websites and various applications (Kalendar, Tokodon, NeoChat, Kontrast, ...). I'm part of the KDE Promo team (I have access to all the existing kde social media accounts) and of the fundraising team. And in the past, I was moderating r/kde, but I deleted my account a while ago already. And finally, I already maintain https://kde.social, which hosts the mastodon accounts of a few kde applications as well as of a few other contributors. (all that in my free time)

Hopefully, this is legit enough :) And I will add the link to the Lemmy instance in the footer of kde.org

Thanks for the clarification and all of your hard work! That's definitely legit enough for me. I was just puzzled why it was a new URL that I had never seen before from official KDE sources. Perhaps you could ask that kde.social be added to the Community pages on KDE.org? That way fellow KDE users can easily find it and join!
