Do instances exist where you can be 13+? (lemmy.ml)

I think this was asked by someone already, but I do wonder. I think it would be cool if my sister joined the Fediverse (but blocked NSFW content). She is a high school freshman, but I can’t have her join an instance where you must be an adult.

I do have friends on other social medias that are 13+ with their teen siblings making an account to follow them, but what are the rules here??

There was a user that was revealed to be under 18, maybe they were 16 almost 17, Abe they got banned, by .world (I could be wrong there).

How were they revealed?

if it's who I think it is, they themselves said so

And that is what I would recommend against, even on a server that does not ban that age. If someone's (young) age is relevant to a discussion they wish to participate in, I would suggest a throwaway account.
