If you have been here for long enough and settled in and now finally feel comfortable with Lemmy, I highly advice you to move to smaller instances. I just newly left Lemmy.world to join Lemm.ee.

We need to capitalize on the decentralized nature of the Fediverse and Lemmy instead of having everyone joining one instance. This will benefit the admins of Lemmy.world a lot as they would not have to deal with such a high amount of users. It also leaves room for new users to join and have a good experience rather than an experience filled with server outages where they will give up on Lemmy.

Same here. My main account is on lemmynsfw and it’s down atm :/

I get irritated when browsing and a message is on another server and it asks me to log in again. Starting to make me mad.

And you can easily copy over all your subs/communities using Lasim, so the change to an account on a smaller instance is almost transparent.

That's exactly what I thought when I signed up. Well not in those terms because I didn't know much vocabulary for it then. But in general I like underdogs, so I went with a smaller one. I have no idea how big any of them actually are, but I know the big 2, and a handful of other common ones.

Use 1m column for monthly active users

Don't see a 1m column, but the users count column gave me some context.

You need to use "All columns"

Can we make a thread of these smaller servers that are open to new registrations?

If I may start: I am running communick.news, which is one of the many Fediservice servers that I provide on Comunick. The first 250 registrations on communick.news server will be free forever, after that access will be only for paid customers. At the moment, there are ~30 slots taken.

To register, just sign-up and in the "application" question just let me know how you found out about the instance.

Given I haven't advertised it anywhere, I'll take this opportunity to shamelessly plug the open instance I run: leminal.space.

The default theme's a bit quirky, but you can change that in your settings if it's not your bag.

Your theme looks great! Nice design chrisbit.

[–] chrisbit@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks. I can't take credit for the design though because it's using the vaporwave theme that comes with Lemmy as a base with some modifications.

[–] Teal@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

In that case, nice choice!
