Thoughts? Seems like we are one of the only bigger instances with open sign ups still as well.

Edit: didn’t mean to start any instance tribalism. Like others have said, its not a competition, and its better that users are spread across instances than piling into one. Just think it’s interesting to watch the different instances grow and change and see where people end up congregating.

Is there any difference between servers? I understand that each community is hosted on a specific server and therefore there are local communities to your server, but if you can read all communities across all servers and you can (I guess) post to any community across all servers, then is there any difference at what server you've registered?

I don't think there is, but I read that servers could block others if they wanted to, so I guess it could be a problem if you joined a server that suddenly decided to block another one you wanted to see.

I just picked lemmy.world because it said it was for general interest instead of one particular topic.
