A lot of people start off on a major instance, then after finding and vibing with another instance, can move to that.

There's tons of tools and things that allow for transfer of subscriptions and everything else so changing instances isn't a big deal.

The important thing is to get them on Lemmy first.

Agreed

I started on world and quickly began hopping.

Makes sense.

Lemmy.world is filled with censorship and genocide apologists. It’s basically an exact clone of Reddit’s culture of smug libs that look down their noses at other poor people while working tirelessly against their own best interest by supporting corrupt oligarchs that weaponize identity politics as a highly effective dog whistle.

Hey! I'll have you know I was onboarded from reddit because I can't possibly be asked to understand federation much less the preferred instance or any of the politics of this place before arriving. I saw an easy way in and I took it, because my anti-genocide tirades got me banned from reddit and so far haven't from here. Idk how to control which part of lemmy I'm in much less the one I come from. I am not, however, a "lemmy.world-er" I just live here

Welcome!

Now that the election is over and the shitlibs on world can pretend that Trump is the only demagogue to blame for the ongoing genocide, you might be fine.

If I were you, I’d switch before you share your opinion somewhere that [email protected] or [email protected] can censor or even ban you.

I’ve seen people banned and their comments removed for having the audacity to question the official braindead Reddit hivemind lib narrative (pro-DNC no matter how demonstrably corrupt they get because “have you seen the other guys?”, anti-Single-Payer, conveniently pro-Ukraine while hypocritically anti-Palestine).

It’s pretty easy to switch nowadays.

One day when I have the patience to figure out migrating my profile I will lol a ban would iust give me the time to do so

There is no migrating, you just open a new account. I used to be on .world and changing really didn't do anything noticeable past letting me temporarily block .world when they're on a crusade against some imaginary issue.

While there is wackos on .world, this is mostly because of .world's slowdowns and delays.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah. I started on world and accidentally made my password too long to ever login again. It was a wonderful accident.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

It's literally just the Lemmy arm of Reddit. Same rules, same mods, same centrist users.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Part of the problem is that there isn't a really good onboarding process that doesn't involve getting people to join smaller instances.

Based on dev comments, they seem happy with Lemmy staying small, so there isn't an organization pushing for an equal distribution of new members.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well it is lemmy.world, so it makes sense that it should contain everyone in the world /j

It's one of the largest and one of the easiest to join. I'm certainly not going to suggest Pawb for 90% of people unless I know they are a furry, and I would never recommend .ml. SJW would be second, and I might suggest db0 if it doesn't make you fill out an essay to join (I haven't made an account there).
