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.

    My thought is: It’s more useful to think of total Lemmy users, since it’s all compatible and mostly federated.

      agreed! Find it interesting how other popular instances have chosen to turn off signups while we are still chugging along with new people.

          They were getting massive influxes of users and wanted to limit that so their servers don’t tank, and probably wanted to give themselves time to plan and upgrade the instance.
