I'm curious what difficulties you encountered, I signed up at beehaw where i had to write a response to why i wanted to join, but even then my account was manually reviewed by a human and when i checked an hour later, I was signed up.

Other communities don't have such rules. I managed to create an alt account on another server and i was signed up immediately, equally as fast as reddit.

Right now I'm listening to overmono

this last weekend I was awake for about 40 hours to watch the 24 hours of leMans. The race didn't start until midnight my time which is why it was so much longer than just being awake for 24 hours.

Exactly. Shutting down for 2 days just says we'll be back in 2 days. Shutting down and saying we're going to Lemmy with a link to a specific community shows reddit we are serious about this.
