  • I downvoted your other post because while yes, in an ideal situation people migrating from Reddit would join local instances that fit their individual values the best, I don’t agree that forcing people to join other instances than .world is the right or that it will make Lemmy better.

    It doesn’t matter if the reason is because they read about in a guide, it has most of the communities they liked, or even because it’s the biggest instance currently, people’s freedom of choice should be respected. How do you think complete newcomers would see Lemmy if even the most recommended instance turns them away? Probably that the whole thing is very exclusive.

    The general sentiment around here seems to be that people like how the admins are handling things so far and that they feel inclined to be more active because there is enough users to generate discussions on smaller topics as well, so your claim that this instance is somehow damaging Lemmy’s image seems a bit disingenuous to be honest.
