It was after the u/spez shit AMA. Wanted Beehawsomething but saw they were restrictive and I had to give a detailed reason to join them, so I didn't. Sh.itjust.works seemed like a website name I would not remember and I wouldn't be able to go too Lemmy.ml was full and we where invited to go to other places Lemmy.world was there and had a nice name, it was for me Now I discovered only 2 days ago that slrpnk.net existed, and If we were able to move instance I would move there, I vibes a lot with the ideals I discovered on Reddit, they even got me to buy plants I take very good care of
It's never too late to just create a new account and start using it. Don't feel like you're stuck on an instance. Your old posts won't move over but that's a problem even Mastodon hasn't been able to solve yet. And unlike them there is no concept of followers in Lemmy so you're really not losing anything beyond the time of re-subscribing to all your communities.
