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

I just hope it lasts, worst thing would be if people just went back to reddit

[–] CookieJarObserver@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

I think they should make a video guide to lemmy and link it on the join page.

I use lemmy.world. they have an associated mastodon as well.

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?

I think people naturally tend toward the servers of the people that started the project and also the servers that have the most people on them. As the federated technology continues to smooth out I think more people might be more comfortable spreading out to other servers.

Personally I started out on the Beehaw server but they had some rules I didn't like so then I found another server.

I'm so sorry, I haven't seen the pinned post before registering. Maybe add notice to registration page?

I've had a lemmy.ml account for a little bit but I'm trying out a lemmy.world account as I was put off by some of the things I heard about the original server.

I like beehaw a lot. I think it’s natural for people to still be in the mindset of going to the “source”. And I admit I felt that way at the start of mastodon, but I found my home on fosstadon and understand.

I think it is OK. People need time to transition to this new way of doing things.

When looking through the list of other servers, one thing I noticed is that a lot where in languages I don't know.
