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

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!

You could always host your own instance and be the only user with your special user and connect to other instances' communities.
