it would be really nice if Lemmy.world closed their registrations and ability to create new communities so other instances could catch up...
that would just confuse ppl trying to sign up, theyd think the whole forum is closed
link to https://join-lemmy.org/ instead of https://lemmy.world/
Experience from 12 days ago from someone using join-lemmy: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35480016
In summary: it was quite messy, they ended up on a unmaintained, slow instance and had to change
Yeah, i guess https://join-lemmy.org/ is a project under development.
No it wouldn't be really nice, plus Beehaw, ShitJustWorks, Blahaj are big enough
Top 20 most active communities say otherwise: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active
I said "big enough" & no one's stopping them from migrating to Other instances
Inertia is a predominant effect for users. Also, a lot of people setup their LW accounts when Sync defaulted to it and have no idea how to migrate as it's not an option in the app
Even then I rather have them here than Reddit, let's get them on Lemmy & then we'll deal with fallout
We can work on migration features after we get critical mass (I want Lemmy to grow & Reddit to perish/diminish, that's all)
