Lemmy.ml wasn't accepting new registrations anymore. They, in fact, recommended everyone to register somewhere else. Believe me, I tried so many times. Stupid me even went to Lemmygrad.ml, lol.

Lemmy.world allowed anyone to just sign up and start posting without the "intricate" steps of looking for "!pilipinas@lemmy.ml". It's an instance that's also handled well, being able to take on larger traffic in the last few days.

Lastly, and this is just a bonus since I wasn't aware of it at the time I made the community: lemmy.world is free (or strives to be) of the tankiness usually echoed by communities under those instances. We don't really want that hanging over our heads. So, I'm fortunate it played out the way it did.
