I tried to make an account on lemmy.ml and it looks like their servers are (understandably) overloaded
I ended up choosing lemmy.world instead
My understanding is I'm not missing out on anything by chosing a less-popular instance. Did I get that right?
yes!
lemmy.world in particular doesn't block any instances
see for comparison:
https://lemmy.world/instances
https://lemmy.ml/instances
https://beehaw.org/instances
Oof, I can see why some of those instances are blocked, though. Since I'm on Beehaw, I checked their block list and...wow. Scrolled through each one for a few minutes and now I'm hoping I'm not on some kind FBI list for it. A few highlights from my research expedition:
I was only on each one for a minute or so. I don't think I'm missing out on anything except maybe being put on some kind of list.
I saw how long the list is and got kinda concerned I might miss out on content since I'm on beehaw, but now it just sounds like I'm getting sheltered from all the internet wackjobs lol
