You might consider Wafrn, which is a federated system like Lemmy. There are four instances listed there as open to new accounts right now.
You can even post to Lemmy with it, and people will be able to follow you with Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, etc… and optionally, Bluesky.
Reddit has that, and the ability to follow a user and get notifications when they post. I’m not sure it’s widely used there, but I think it would be a decent feature to add to Lemmy.
Lemmy doesn’t have a concept of a post that isn’t attached to a community. It’s probably possible to post to Lemmy from Wafrn by tagging a community as it is with Mastodon.

Early Reddit didn’t have those either, so I suppose it’s a proto-Reddit-like. Nookie does look better.
How? Is the mouse reliant on their servers to operate?
It’s not the first.
That’s true but not useful.
It’s probably better to describe both ideologies as extreme-authoritarian or totalitarian. They’re about equally undesirable; when someone has a boot on your throat, it doesn’t matter much whether it’s the right boot or the left boot.
I used that code with a couple tweaks. I tag !flashlight@lemmy.world in the posts so they appear there as well.
I’ve been using a similar solution with my static site at https://zakreviews.com/ for years.
You can write software to filter on arbitrary criteria with ActivityPub, or email, or IRC, or virtually any other protocol. My point is that ATProto is designed to actively encourage it, and the flagship implementation does so. Subtle hints in interfaces have a big impact on how people, including developers use software.
When a substantial fraction of users are actually using an appview with that trait, that will be great.
It’s a difference in vision, but I don’t like BlueSky’s vision here.
Combining the Reddit-like and Twitter-like experiences in one place is a little awkward, but following a blog or a Youtube-like from a Twitter-like isn’t. Having the option to switch to a more optimal appview is great, but realistically a lot more people would follow a blog from BlueSky than would use their BlueSky identity to sign into WhiteWind.
It is likely most other software will be able to consume them.
This highlights what I believe to be a poor choice in the design of BlueSky’s AT Protocol; ActivityPub software is usually liberal in what it accepts and displays, while ATProto enforces schemas (“lexicon”).
Not Lemmy, unless the post tags a community.
This is typical of forum software. Some have access controls, but they’re at the admin/moderator level.
Be the change you want to see
On my flashlight review website, every article links to a corresponding post on !flashlight@lemmy.world and displays comments from there.
Not much links to it. It’s really rare that I see a blog, social media, or non-fediverse forum post link to a Lemmy post. That sort of thing still matters quite a bit to search engines.
And that is what I would recommend against, even on a server that does not ban that age. If someone’s (young) age is relevant to a discussion they wish to participate in, I would suggest a throwaway account.
How were they revealed?
It doesn’t look like the major instances forbid posting in Portugese, and it’s ActivityPub+AtProto, so people can follow you from Mastodon and BlueSky. It doesn’t really matter if your audience is local.
