People need to realize you can use alternatives
I find it is nice to just join a server you enjoy at its core and then simply use the "all" sort of thing. I can see from other servers what is popular and can comment and upvote and downvote. It's all very seamless even if I am not in that home server
I created my account at sh.itjust.works but I don't fully understand Lemmy yet. Finding communities seems confusing.
You have basic serach here: https://browse.feddit.de/ they index all communities on known instances.
Well, hello from feddit.de! Since I'm a german user I thought it'd be only logical to register on a german instance. While new registrations are semi-locked, the criteria for being let in are quite easy to pass and they are mostly in place to filter out spam. Got my account approved right on the next day
It's at the top of the list on join-lemmy.org's popular server list, next to lemmy.world and beehaw.org, of course new users will sign up on the more popular ones. Plus, a few posts on reddit called out these three which set everything in motion.
Once folks start to understand how it works, they might start to sign up on other ones, for a "cooler handle @ address" for their user, or register a domain and start their own instance like I did.
Anyway, welcome aboard, right?

That looks like a missed opportunity to me not using fedd.it :-)
Join us over in beehaw, it's super chill and welcoming
I tried to start a kbin instance today and I literally ended up corrupting or deleting debian off the VPS.
So look I'm tryin' but uh...give me a little time.
proudly hailing from NOT lemmy.ml 🤗
I just hope it lasts, worst thing would be if people just went back to reddit
I definitely didnt pick sh.it just.works for the funny name, naaaaaaaaah

Ze Germans seem to have their own monopolistic instance
I'm so sorry, I haven't seen the pinned post before registering. Maybe add notice to registration page?
