I didn’t know there was an entrance quiz on the others!

I wrote a essay with a million grammatical errors, then decided I'd prefer to have my account on a instance that is smaller and in the EU as I have that option :)

Also part of it was anxiety of who saw and approved πŸ‘

The email requirement was annoying but this instance is fast.

Some villainous instances should be defederated tho.

I kinda dig this new (compared to Reddit) "friendly competition" dynamic between servers.

I'm on two, this and sopuli.xyz - which I joined on a whim before even knowing what lemmy was. I'm pretty sure my personal statement was merely "I miss usenet". And, it's weird, but the community search function is...inconsistent at best. I've tried searches on three different instances for a common term and come up with nothing (sopuli), 4 communities (.world), and 6 communities (.ml). .world seems like a more generic fit and, um, yeah - no personal statement.

I've been having a good time on vlemmy.net. It's small, has a fairly active admin, and seems to be fostering a healthy community with a reasonable number of restrictions.

i wrote about two or three sentences for every question, neatly formatted into three tiny paragraphs, got accepted within 5 minutes!

Exactly why I choosed lemmy.world. I looked for something less busy, but justification for account? C'mon...

I almost made a Beehaw account since I saw a bunch of the communities I wanted to join were on there and it kept logging me out when I went to them.

I managed to figure it out after seeing that making an account there needs an essay. So I guess I’m just gonna stay based here, waiting to see if and when kbin opens itself up to the rest of the fediverse (since I joined there first but came here when I saw that kbin is currently blocking itself off from everyone else, which is exactly what I didn’t want when making the jump from Reddit to the fediverse).

You can still follow Beehaw communities (or ones on any other instance) from this instance, you just have to view them from lemmy.world. If you check the "all" tab under "communities" you should be able to see some of them and also search for them.

You haven't seen the lemmygrad join requirements.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

me too lol. no ill intentions but just cba to apply for an account

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I signed up for both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world instances. I actually got accepted in like 12 hours on lemmy.ml which is pretty good despite the small team and the flood of new users.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Before I got in here, I tried to get into there. Glad they didn't let me in!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I tried signing up here twice and wrote an essay both times and didn’t get accepted before I found lemmy.world. That’s alright I love it here anyway

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I tried lemmy.one, wrote like 3 short sentences to answer their questions, and never got a response.
