I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.
I didn’t really know what I was doing, and it sounded the most “official”.
Paradoxal regarding Lemmy.ml is the founder’s instance 😁🫠
I chalk it up to the name. Your name is your central piece of branding, and can be used to your advantage. To me, when I wanted to join what I thought would probably be the largest lemmy instance, I didn’t look at the stats or rules. I just looked at the names of all the not-tiny ones. This one clearly signified to me that the owner intends to become a very large Instance.
To most people, it will simply sound cool and be very easy to remember. Both of those are very important points.
Look at the automotive industry. Performance is desirable in a vehicle, certainly, but according to the market, does it seem more desirable than looking cool and having enough cup holders?
I was overwhelmed by the options of instances. Then Reddit is Fun had a pop up message suggesting to go to lemmy.world. I trusted Reddit is Fun so I followed its suggestion.
I open today rif accidently and it started to work again. Logged out mind you. Got a weird message with instructions to log back into my Reddit account. Was able to browse Reddit as a guest on the meanwhile. Didn’t want to log back in as fuck Reddit.
Did rif sell to Reddit? Couldn’t blame him if he did but all the same I am leaving. Just can’t see how rif would still work without Reddit owning his servers. Anyone know what is going on?
Reddit wasn’t interested in buying any of the 3rd party apps. Since you know, apparently they’re so great at making apps that there were a dozen third party ones that people preferred.
I don’t know, but it might be that Reddit is only limiting API keys for authenticated sessions. That way the anonymous requests still work up to the free API rate limits.
Plus it’s easier to say and communicate “lemmy world”
Funny how a lot of us originally found Reddit through watermarks on pics on Ebaum’s World. Maybe worth flooding reddit with pics watermarked lemmy.world
Genius
Someone should make a bot that randomly scrapes Reddit main subs to seed articles on here. Just to get more content. I have been doing so manually using old Reddit occasionally.
That being said, even in the last week I been seeing a great deal of more content. Now would like to see more communities.
Already available; you can request subs at [email protected]. The lemmit.online instance is dedicated to replicating content over. It’s awesome.
I’ve unsubscribed from a couple of communities that did that. They were flooded with content that no one would discuss.
I went with lemmy.one, did I err?
Honestly, with how fritzy the top few instances have been due to the recent traffic, I’d argue you did the opposite of err.
I have an account on .world but lemm.ee is a great name and the admin who runs the instance sounds like a cool guy. Plus .world is already way overloaded so I was looking for another instance.

Same here!
Saw a comment by the apollo dev advertising Lemme world on reddit. made the jump then.
The migration of a certain subreddit I followed over here led me to this instance so here I am.
For me, I was looking at the “All” tab on a different Lemmy instance as I was figuring things out and noticed basically everything was coming from Lemmy.world, so I created an account there to be my main one, for now at least.
I think lemmy.world js the only one of the three that are still accepting new sign ups.
There are lots of instances accepting sign-ups – here’s a good overview: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
Lemmy.ca is, but you have to write a blurb. It’s a filter to keep spammers, bad actors, and bots down. Seems to be working though – it’s #8 on the population list and growing even though it is “closed”.
I am new like most of us. When I signed up I had no idea what an instance was. To me the name Lemmy.world sounded like it was more general and therefore would have more content so I picked that one.
Yeah the name sounded the most inviting. It’s Lemmy… That’s the name of what I want… And it’s world, that sounds like a generic description of “everything”. But at the end of the day I just clicked a link in a comment. Seemed to me to be the more popular one suggested.
i checked out three or four instances and this one seemed to have the least amount of bullshit to deal with
A reddit user made a list of alternative services for reddit. The list was .world, .ml and bee. At this point i didn’t know it’s the same decentralised service. I picked the first one, liked it and made an account after a few days.
I am new like most of us. When I signed up I had now idea what an instance was. To me the name Lemmy.world sounded like it was more general and therefore would have more content so I picked that one.
For me honestly mostly the name. World. Seems like a default instance to me. What does ml even mean?
