Originally I signed up with vlemmy.net, but after like only a week, their server shut down. So I had to sign back up in lemmy.world

I can only imagine that as this service is fairly new, many users are experiencing similar things. Also, I can only imagine that a number of new users testing out the fediverse created throwaway accounts.

I think it basically all adds up to Lemmy and the fediverse in general gradually balancing itself out.

yes, there’s a github instance list, which is one of the top google result and it says “It doesn’t matter which instance you use” in bold, but that’s not true:

2 instances i joined ceased to exist after < 1 month

1 had the hardest captcha on earth and it just stopped showing after the 3rd try and the register form would no longer work without it

some need you to fill out an application message and don’t say what you’re supposed to put in. then a person needs to manually approve you based on that. that mechanism is not pleasant for everyone
