Ope! Us midwesterners are doing great.

I created my account at sh.itjust.works but I don't fully understand Lemmy yet. Finding communities seems confusing.

proudly hailing from NOT lemmy.ml 🤗

Hello from beehaw.org!

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

I started off on lemmy.ml before the deluge and then today it’s basically inaccessible so I started up a new account over at lemmy.world. I browse by All anyway so I haven’t really noticed a difference.

New user, signed up on an alternative. It isn't intuitive to add a community from another server. Got there eventually though!

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.

Hello from lemmy.ca

Lemmy world was the only one that let me sign up lol

Proudly burdening sh.itjust.works instead of lemmy.ml!

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

Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.

Hello from lemmy.world! Don't come here, I think it's starting to get overloaded too. Lemmy.one looks like it may be in a good "growing but not snowballing yet" position, go over there and get that ball rolling.

I'm here from lemmy.one c: DECENTRALIZE.

Join us over in beehaw, it's super chill and welcoming

If it helps, I joined kbin cause I like the UI more :P

I tried to start a kbin instance today and I literally ended up corrupting or deleting debian off the VPS.

So look I'm tryin' but uh...give me a little time.
