I think they should make a video guide to lemmy and link it on the join page.
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF IT. THERE'S WORSE SHIT ON THE LOCAL NEWS.
First one I heard about was Lemmy.world, and for a short time I thought others were just "imitation offshoots", taking time to learn the system. There's still not a simple summary to send people, at the very least it can open simply as "Here's some non-Reddit Reddit sites"
My work blocks lemmy.ml but not many other instances. Unfortunately all the heaviest memes are on lemmy.ml ! I just want to look at fun memes instead of my lame ass patients what’s wrong with that
I think people naturally tend toward the servers of the people that started the project and also the servers that have the most people on them. As the federated technology continues to smooth out I think more people might be more comfortable spreading out to other servers.
Personally I started out on the Beehaw server but they had some rules I didn't like so then I found another server.

Well I tried beehaw but I after creating an account I had to wait to be accepted.. 1 hour later couldn't login so I went to lemmy.ml and it was instantaneous so..here I am
Nuhuh, beehaws active user count and seemingly inclusive nature drew me in
listen, I'm willing to go to smaller instances if necessary, but for the same reason I signed up for mastodon.social - I want my local community to not be a desert, if at all possible.
Honestly, I was just trying to look for the most general instance possible.
