Welcome! The biggest hurdle is right at the beginning. Choosing which server to register with.

After that it's got enough similar to Reddit, that it should be easy to post to your registered server and other federated servers as well.

Am I going to regret signing up to lemmy.ml rather than a more specific instance? Still wrapping my head around all this. Could I sign up on another instance w/ the same username if that instance wasn't federated?

You can sign up on any and as many instances as you want, and still be able to view any content and community from any other instance. This is the point of federation.

Got it, makes sense!
