Because on the main Lenny website world shows up as recommended. The other recommended sites want users to put an email in addition to a write up on what they can offer. Which totally kills interest for any new people.

I think the main Lenny website is to blame here tbh. It pushing users towards a few preset instances that are not really new user friendly.

Some are not accepting sign ups at all.

join-lemmy.org shows a few instances at the top of its join page:

lemmy.fmhy.ml (which is based)

sh.itjust.works which im pretty sure is having a free speech or too much user choice problem atm

lemm.ee, a general instance

sopuli.xyz, which i know nothing about (who is finn???)

i dont see .world until a further scroll down from those. did they change it?
