  I’ve always thought the cut-off is whether it’s near the speaker (“here”) or near the person being spoken to (“there”). My native language has a three-way distinction (near the speaker (“dito”), near the person spoken to (“diyan”), far from both (“doon”)), so it’s pretty easy to just collapse it to “here” and “there”.

  Only for a limited amount of time, kenja time.

  Thanks!! It’s really noticeable, at least as far as I’m concerned. And I hope that even if you guys take your time, the new applicants will understand the delay (hell, perhaps even expect some delays because this is not in any way an ordinary situation).

  Glad to be here too, thanks!

  Lemm.ee refugee here. I made my account over twenty-four hours ago, and was expecting that the registration will take time to be processed since at the time I made my application, this instance is among the most recommended. I was expecting the admins to be swamped. I was pleasantly surprised when I went back to my e-mails, an e-mail confirmation request was waiting, and just minutes after my confirmation, my registration was approved.

  I am very thankful for the swift response, and thankful for the way this instance is ran (my primary reason choosing this over the others–it reminds me of lemm.ee in a good way).

  Again, thanks!
