seemed like a genuine nice guy

He indeed is, on top of truly knowing what he's doing.

My reason for being here is, while checking other instances, I saw a post by lemmy.ml admins saying they were overloaded by the influx of new people.

Since they had 1k people, I thought max 500 could be a good number (lemmy.world was a bit less than 500 when I joined).

I checked small instances and this one gave me really good vibes, more than the others, so here I am and I couldn't be happier about it :)

There were only 500 people on lemmy.world when you started? How long ago if you don't mind me asking?

Yes! I've been using it very actively every day since I joined, and while it's not perfect, I haven't seen any major hiccups, admins are doing a truly fantastic job.

@Confuzzeled I signed up when the blackout started on the 12th I think lots of us where just trying to find a new home and came to whatever was open lol I was on lemmy.ml realized it was crashing then came to lemmy.world and haven’t looked back
