I just wanted to say that I like this instance. It feels calm, cool, and collected. There is no BS happening here. From what I can see, no one has defederated from us and we have not defederated from anyone else. The rules for the Instance look reasonable. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for keeping it nice here :-).

    There are, but I think people are still leaning towards the bigger instances by default. Probably part of existing users on those instances recruiting more people and suggesting to use the same instance instead of finding a different one. A lot of reddit threads were linking directly to lemmy.world for example.

    I saw some talk about lemmy clients implementing some sort of random sign-up where it puts new users on random instances, or at least shows a list of instances they could choose from. I’m not sure if that’s the solution, but it’d be an improvement imo.

      Yea that would definitely help. Also I think there needs to be a better explanation for defederation and exactly what that means. I still find that pretty confusing in terms of exactly who can see/participate with what.
