People need to realize you can use alternatives
When looking through the list of other servers, one thing I noticed is that a lot where in languages I don't know.

Honestly, I was just trying to look for the most general instance possible.
I think people naturally tend toward the servers of the people that started the project and also the servers that have the most people on them. As the federated technology continues to smooth out I think more people might be more comfortable spreading out to other servers.
Personally I started out on the Beehaw server but they had some rules I didn't like so then I found another server.
I couldn't deal with the no downvote button in beehaw server. Lemmy.ml seemed to be fit my preference best when I joined at the time. There's also the fact that there's no way to migrate your history right now so I'm staying where I am atm I guess. It also feels like the main instance is the less likely to go down in the future

listen, I'm willing to go to smaller instances if necessary, but for the same reason I signed up for mastodon.social - I want my local community to not be a desert, if at all possible.
It looks on the main page, you can view posts across all communities on lemmy, regardless of which community you're on, so that certainly helps.

I was advised by a redditor to join '.word' because ml was overwhelmed
Not really sure what the difference is tbh. I'm here interacting with an ml community so why not?
I'd like to know if I can make my own subreddit equivalent though?

I setup Anarch.is today. Feel free to create an account. Still need to write-up guidelines, enable community creation, etc. but it’s ready if you want to post/comment on other instances.
If we run into server load problems i’ll upgrade it. 😎
