congrats from .ca!

while im here: does anybody actually know why lemmy.world grew the fastest out of all of the instances? its not the "main" instance like .ml, not a safe space like beehaw, and a normal general instance like itjust.works. im curious why out of all places, .world got the main influx

I think it was the instance referenced in the RIF goodbye message. That's what got me here, anyway.

[–] BrokenMachine@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Same here. Still haven't figured Lemmy out, though. I figure it's going to take a good while

Same with Sync, as well

[–] Taliesin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, same here.
