A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Bro this is a skill issue
To reiterate what I said in the last paragraph;
That’s not true from a technical point of view. A remote subscriber is way more expensive than a local one, so on the technical side it’s better when everyone signs up on the server where most of their communities are.
That may be true, but most of the communities I'm subscribed to are remote. I've not experienced any issue at all. In fact I'm getting your reply pretty much instantaneously and I'm on lemm.ee in the USA and you're on feddit.de in Germany.
Not everyone is a writer.
You misinterpreted what the application form is for. I have accounts on 3 instances (lemmy.ml, beehaw.org and lemmy.one) and for each of them my application message was "came from reddit." It's just a way for them to reduce abusive signups; even with that, 2/3 of those instances don't even require email verification. It literally takes 10 seconds to sign up and somehow you spent 86400 of them.
That’s not what the form's instructions say. I can’t read the mind of the admins to know how little I can get away with.
Perhaps don't advertise that you're willing to do no more than the absolute bare minimum to try to hoodwink the admins.
I didn't, that's why it took an hour to write the application form. Which is totally unacceptable for the general population.
