sh.itjust.works

Currently it's recommending sopuli.xyz, an instance i've never heard of that requires applications to join, and beehaw, an instance that defederated from the other large instances.

That seems like a very poor front page for lemmy to get people to actually join and interact. I think a lot would probably think it goes against the philosophy to recommend a big instance like lemmy.world. But that's the least confusing to new people

Right now, we're the number one recommended instance to join on the join-lemmy.org site, and we are also one of 3 recommended instances in the awesome-lemmy-instances page. We may be small, but so far we're doing great!

Hi! I'm new to lemmy. I think the join-lemmy instances list is a great resource, though I've noticed that the instance I recently set up does not appear in the list. Is listing automatic, and in that case what should I do to make sure it appears? And if it's not automatic, who should we contact to request to be included in the list?

Thank you!
