Lemmy is booming

I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it's obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I'm looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

Yeah Beehaw seems to have been removed from the 'Join a Server' page. I tried maybe 15 times to join Lemmy.ml as well. Honestly hoping these are just small bumps in the road, so it's easier for new users to join!

They should really have on the join lemmy server a guided wizard, like what are you interested in, and then it should basically give them server to join and a "Or I'll choose my own". But then you still have the "Wait I thought I was signing up for lemmy, not lemmy.foo.bar.baz issue. Decentralized is great, but we need a bit of centralization to help onboarding.

Definitely! There needs to be some improvements to user onboarding, it's always one of the biggest painpoints with decentralized platforms.
