If you want a big instance I recommend switching to something like lemmy.zip.
Lemmy.ml unfortunately has very questionable moderation. I’m thrilled you guys are here, but the fact that you ended up on that instance is proof that we have ways to go as a platform.
I guess it does prove the point that there is still friction in instance selection. I guess I can partly sympathize with those who get so overwhelmed at this point that they just decide it’s all too difficult. People are not used to making their own choices any more.
The good news is instance hopping is pretty easy. I’ve already done it twice now.
The “It’s like email” comparison is cliche for the Fediverse at this point, but it really is. Most people are gonna switch eventually for some reason or another.
I think that if English is not your first language, you should find an instance in your language. Way less instances to choose from, and you also get to see many communities in your language
I wanted to go with lemmy.world and then realised I already had an account there, so did not bother creating a new one . But thanks for the recommendation

Recommending lemmy.zip itself is problematic because it’s blocking UK users.
Ah, right.
