This is great stuff. I'll add a few hints of my own.
There's no such thing as "global Lemmy admins"; there are the admins of your home instance (where you're registered to) and the admins of the instance where you're posting. It's messier because each group will enforce different rules, but it also means that no group of arseholes can kick you completely out of Lemmy.
If you're a newcomer odds are that you don't know which would be the best home instance for you. That's completely OK - almost everyone was like this, including me. So if you don't feel satisfied with your home instance, create a new account in another instance and migrate.
Desktop users might benefit from the extension "Instance Assistant for Lemmy & Kbin" (Firefox link, Chrome link).
App users: remember when Reddit had a whole rainbow of third party apps to choose from? Lemmy is like this: there's Jerboa (the official one) but also Voyager, Mlem, Boost, and many others. Give this link a check, or just look for "Lemmy" in your app store.
