People need to realize you can use alternatives
I created my account at sh.itjust.works but I don't fully understand Lemmy yet. Finding communities seems confusing.

That looks like a missed opportunity to me not using fedd.it :-)

It's at the top of the list on join-lemmy.org's popular server list, next to lemmy.world and beehaw.org, of course new users will sign up on the more popular ones. Plus, a few posts on reddit called out these three which set everything in motion.
Once folks start to understand how it works, they might start to sign up on other ones, for a "cooler handle @ address" for their user, or register a domain and start their own instance like I did.
Anyway, welcome aboard, right?

Well, hello from feddit.de! Since I'm a german user I thought it'd be only logical to register on a german instance. While new registrations are semi-locked, the criteria for being let in are quite easy to pass and they are mostly in place to filter out spam. Got my account approved right on the next day

proudly hailing from NOT lemmy.ml 🤗
New user, signed up on an alternative. It isn't intuitive to add a community from another server. Got there eventually though!

Join us over in beehaw, it's super chill and welcoming
I just hope it lasts, worst thing would be if people just went back to reddit
Yeah I have been finding it hard to wrap my head around this federation part.

I'm so sorry, I haven't seen the pinned post before registering. Maybe add notice to registration page?
