I’ve signed up to Lemmy.ml first, because it seemed like the main instance. My application was taking too long and I thought I messed up somewhere. So I signed up on beehaw.

Street that they defederated, I understand and respect this decision but I want to see all the instances so I created an account on Lemmy.world.

Then I discovered the solarpunk instance (slrpnk.net) and realized that this is a nice small community that I want to be part of so I joined them. Now I think I’m settled.
