You can check if a username is taken by searching for that username's profile page at "https://lemmy.world/u/[the-username]" (replace "[the-username]" with the username you want).
At this point, I would still argue that moving to Lemmy is the best option. Some subreddits have moved to Discord, but it's just as proprietary as Reddit, and has the added downside of being a chat room. One can of course stay on Reddit itself, but I suspect Reddit's CEO probably isn't going to start making reasonable decisions anytime soon.
Additionally, I can be quite confident that Lemmy has already alienated so many others just like me who will also need to be won over somehow. You only get so many chances.
Frankly, I think open source advocates are extremely ignorant about the realities of late capitalism and the tasks ahead of them, which serves as the underlying reason for failing to get the priorities straight. I have contributed many hours to open source projects myself. I am no stranger to the short-sighted anarchist mindset that permeates open source land.

just tested, it's still blocked. And only lemmy.ml does the blocking
