Resolves yes if I am dissatisfied with my Lemmy experience in a way that could have been avoided had I made my account on another instance. For example, programming.dev defederating from other instances with content I want to see or my account getting banned by programming.dev mods.
Resolves no if I am satisfied with Lemmy or am dissatisfied in a way that isn't related to my choice of instance, such as if the whole fediverse ends having no interesting content.
Edit: Updating resolution criteria since no one has traded yet except a bot. Expanding the scope of the question to include all Fediverse platforms. This was triggered by my discovery that Mastodon accounts can follow Lemmy communities but Lemmy accounts can't follow Mastodon accounts. If an account on a different Fediverse platform is strictly superior to a Lemmy account at market close, this will also trigger a YES resolution.

Updates:
Mastodon interaction: it seems that Mastodon users can interact with Lemmy instances, but as a Lemmy user I don't seem to be able to follow people on Mastodon. This particular disappointment is outside the scope of the question as stated since it's true of all Lemmy instances, but I intended the spirit of the market to be about my first introduction to the Fediverse. Since no one has traded yet except a bot, unless anyone complains, I'm changing the resolution criteria to also resolve YES if at market close, Mastodon accounts are still strictly superior to Lemmy accounts.
Threads: I am not opposed to federating with Threads. If at market close, Threads has content I like (probably vtuber stuff and weeb art) AND programming.dev defederates with Threads so that I am unable to interact AND there are other instances that remained federated with Threads, this market will resolve YES.
unless anyone complains, I'm changing the resolution criteria to also resolve YES if at market close, Mastodon accounts are still strictly superior to Lemmy accounts.
So status quo = YES? Seems like an easy bet, I'm not missing anything?
