Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.

Title says it all!? I'm a reddit refuge and picked this instance because it's A) Canadian (I'm in MN, so consider myself an honorary Canadian), and B) The clean energy thing.

Applied to Beehaw but never heard back. Dittos on Lemmy.ML!

So hoping this is going to be a great "home" away from Reddit for the foreseeable future.

Cheers, and well done on the instance, admins!

Lemmy.ml and other popular instances wouldn't let me sign up. The button kept spinning and spinning. I tried for hours to get in those instances, got frustrated and was about to give up on this whole lemmy thing. Then i tried with this instance within a second of hitting sign up button i was in. No weird indefinite spinning animation.

It's because too many people are going to those instances and overloading them.

Similar experience tbh. Tried lemmy.world, slow + approval process required. Tried here. Immediately in and lightning fast. Best server.
