Thanks to anyone who approves me to join for Lemmy through this lemmy.ml instance.

P.S., I tried three times to sign up through the lemmy.world instance, but it failed. πŸ₯²

You'll need to sign up for a new account on the other instance. I'd recommend you persevere with getting a lemmy.world one and use that as your main one. Keep the one you've got in case of an lemmy.world outage.

Content is generally shared amongst the main instances so you'll generally be able to see the same stuff wherever you create an account. Most of the Lemmy apps have multi-account functionality so you can add both.

I’d recommend you persevere with getting a lemmy.world one and use that as your main one.

I would advise against lemmy world and .ml, .world is already way too big, the day they fail, all lemmy will collapse. Place like lemm.ee or sopuli or Blahaj, or Fedia if you prefer mbin are way nicer.

That said, .ml works good enough to discover lemmy, don't panic too much

Seconding this. I originally came from lemmy.world, but eventually mained on lemm.ee after some really bad downtime issues around July/August 2023.

I also keep accounts on other instances as a backup, but I sort of use them as separating different interests, like my lemmy.dbzer0 account is for the tech-related interests, while this one is the more general one. If ever I follow more anime-related communities, I might make one on an anime-centric instance.

I guess I’ll stick to .ml instance because it’s seem valuable, limited and rare compared to others.

The unfortunate reality is that nobody can tell you why lemmy.ml is a shitshow in this thread, because they will get banned for it. Just take that information as you will.

Alright, I'll say it. It's because we're all Russian shills here

Also, depending on your interests, if you do make accounts on other servers, check our their population, location (for different language options) and uptime %.
