Thoughts? Seems like we are one of the only bigger instances with open sign ups still as well.

Edit: didn’t mean to start any instance tribalism. Like others have said, its not a competition, and its better that users are spread across instances than piling into one. Just think it’s interesting to watch the different instances grow and change and see where people end up congregating.

Makes sense. World is open to pretty much anything and anyone, beehaw, I don't quite get what they want. They said that if in the registration form you only write that you come from Reddit, you won't be approved. I guess I just don't vibe with that perspective, especially since they don't explain what they want exactly.

Anyway honestly, until the Lemmy protocols and synchronization get well ironed out (automatic comm propagation, syncing comments from before discovery), I actually think it's better for people to be on the few larger instances to minimize confusions.

When choosing where to go between World Beehaw and Sh.itjust.works, I basically thought She.ithust.works would not be something that I would remember when searching for the web page, and felt a bit not enough serious. Beehaw was from what I read nice and serious but then when trying to register on it I saw I had to write a reason to why I come here. I wrote something and then didn't even apply and tried lemmy.world, if I'm asked those questions now I told myself it might be even more annoying later on

Huh, I've had a pretty good impression from Beehaw from the limited time I've spent on Lemmy. Granted, I've not actually tried to register there, I just went to Feddit and was approved nigh instantly.

Although it really shouldn't be hard pin down what kind of community they want to build on Beehaw, they have several longform posts about this on [email protected]

I get that writing these little applications and the prospect of rejection is pretty stressful, it had me worried when I first joined Lemmy, too (although I guess Feddit is/was a lot less picky than Beehaw). Ultimately, though, most of these various instances have to keep a lid on how much they grow since their resources are far more limited than lemmy.world
