New lemmy.ca member checking in! This is pretty cool.

I use lemmy.world. they have an associated mastodon as well.

Ope! Us midwesterners are doing great.

I created my account at sh.itjust.works but I don't fully understand Lemmy yet. Finding communities seems confusing.

It's at the top of the list on join-lemmy.org's popular server list, next to lemmy.world and beehaw.org, of course new users will sign up on the more popular ones. Plus, a few posts on reddit called out these three which set everything in motion.

Once folks start to understand how it works, they might start to sign up on other ones, for a "cooler handle @ address" for their user, or register a domain and start their own instance like I did.

Anyway, welcome aboard, right?

After reading the "we are full" notices and doing some research I was able to easily create an account on lemmy.ca increasing the represention for BC.

feddit.it 🙋‍♂️

Proudly burdening sh.itjust.works instead of lemmy.ml!

Well, hello from feddit.de! Since I'm a german user I thought it'd be only logical to register on a german instance. While new registrations are semi-locked, the criteria for being let in are quite easy to pass and they are mostly in place to filter out spam. Got my account approved right on the next day

Hello from lemmy.ca

I just hope it lasts, worst thing would be if people just went back to reddit

Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.

Hello from beehaw.org!

If it helps, I joined kbin cause I like the UI more :P

I'm so sorry, I haven't seen the pinned post before registering. Maybe add notice to registration page?

I tried to start a kbin instance today and I literally ended up corrupting or deleting debian off the VPS.

So look I'm tryin' but uh...give me a little time.

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.

Lemmy world was the only one that let me sign up lol

aussie.zone alive and kicking.
