I stumbled into lemmy disoriented and just went with lemmy.ca because I always want to support 'local' domains. I'm surprised people go for for something like '.world' tbh. Although, I think your logic makes sense I also know how little people read and its safer to say people just signed up for the instance that was the path of least resistance (low application threshold, links guiding them in, etc)

I scrolled through a few that were recommended and world seemed like it was just generally the best fit for me. Especially since I didn’t want any chance of running into explicitly queerphobic communities while having plenty of variety in topics

I made an account on both world and .CA while I was figuring things out.

I mostly use lemmy.ca now though.

I did exactly the same!

I am waiting on my lemm.ee confirmation. Might daily drive it if it gets heavy here.

It’s just that I really don’t care about what happens in my area within this context, I can just go outside to know what’s going on. And if I want to talk to local people I don’t do it on here either, so I prefer more international communities than just my town except it’s online
