That wouldn't be good either if third parties are still funnelling new users to lemmy.world. They'll see a "sign ups closed" message, assume there is only one forum and it's closed, then go back to Reddit.
Actually it's even worse than that. I tried yesterday to register on https://lemmy.ml but it let me go through the registration process up to the submit button before returning an error message "Registration Closed".
This is good feedback! If you haven't already, you might post it to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml. They may have already gotten this feedback, so you might do a quick skim of other posts before doing so, but honestly it'd be good to post just with this point specifically, since others may have only tossed it in amidst more general feedback.
A necessary evil but one that can be overcome. I would hope there'd be a way to leave a message about trying one of many other instances or at least a link to a Fediverse FAQ.
