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

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?

proudly hailing from NOT lemmy.ml 🤗
I just hope it lasts, worst thing would be if people just went back to reddit
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

Proudly burdening sh.itjust.works instead of lemmy.ml!
Join us over in beehaw, it's super chill and welcoming
New user, signed up on an alternative. It isn't intuitive to add a community from another server. Got there eventually though!
