Congratulations!! Great news!

As a sidenote, I wish we stop defining our free/libre projects by starting to compare them to existing proprietary/centralized ones... it somehow diminishes our work and its importance, by always bringing comparison/alternative first. If you consider gimp as "a bitmap editor" it is quite decent... if you compare it to photoshop, it hmm... "pales" in comparison.

I would just invert sentences there:

"Lemmy is a network of interconnected communities ran by different people and organizations, all combining to create a single, personalized front page of your favorite news, articles, and memes. [It is somehow] similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to communities you’re interested in, post links and discussions, then vote and comment on them.~~Lemmy isn’t just a reddit alternative~~;"
