Shame about World's stability issues. Probably brought on by its popularity.

MODERATORS
congrats from .ca!
while im here: does anybody actually know why lemmy.world grew the fastest out of all of the instances? its not the "main" instance like .ml, not a safe space like beehaw, and a normal general instance like itjust.works. im curious why out of all places, .world got the main influx
Because on the main Lenny website world shows up as recommended. The other recommended sites want users to put an email in addition to a write up on what they can offer. Which totally kills interest for any new people.
I think the main Lenny website is to blame here tbh. It pushing users towards a few preset instances that are not really new user friendly.
Some are not accepting sign ups at all.

.world sounded like it was the most "official" on a way? Maybe just bias but sometimes the shorthanded/links make web links sound less credible or not as major of a spot. Kbin.social kinda has that working for it too, .social and .world sounded like official gathering grounds by their naming.

I've signed up to lemmy.world don't know what an instance is or why it might be important to sign up to something different. Want to help as much as possible. Please educate me!

It might be a little cringe but I embrace being a lemming.
Migrated here from RIF (RIP), lemmy.world being suggested on top of the how to join guide definitely played a part in choosing this instance along with all the recommendations from other users.
Definitely feel much more inclined to comment here than on Reddit as of late, all the regurgitated meme shitposts and karma farming bot comments were getting really old. If it takes donating / paying a sub to keep Lemmy human discussion focused, that's what I will do.
I'd move to a closer instance, if I new they were in it for the long run and not shut down when they get bored after a few months. What happens if the instance I'm registered to decides to shut down?
