I was actually about to sign up when I saw it. Glad people started suggesting this instead.

You still can go to an instance like Lemmy.world (linked in the OP, actually). Those aren't controlled by Lemmy's devs.

The link is just a little confusing because it's a Lemmy.world link looking at a discussion on Lemmy.ml, but it's not something on Lemmy.world itself.

Lemmy.world is run by the Mastodon.world guys, who are on the level. Lemmy.world is a separate instance with no ties to the maintainers of Lemmy proper. If the Lemmy devs ever do anything off-the-rails, then Lemmy itself can be forked into its own project.

A great example - you know Truth Social, yeah? It's actually part of Mastodon. They took Mastodon's code, forked it, and put a new skin on top of it. Obviously Truth Social and Mastodon despise each other, but because it's all open-source there's nothing Mastodon can do about Truth Social existing.

(But yes, those associations is one reason why I'm here on Kbin and not on Lemmy.)
