Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.

    It was always going to happen but an instance being the defacto default for Lemmy is a bad thing.

    There really needs to be a tool to help people pick an instance, but even then people would just flock to the general instances like .world anyway

      Myself and another developer are working on something we think will solve this:

      OP: https://lemm.ee/post/2800726 TLDR: Automatic User Distribution

      Whenever someone goes to the sign up page, for example, on Lemmy.world, we:

      • look at the recommender list
      • find the server that is most under capacity
      • have a very large iframe with “Sign up for Lemmy (using [under capacity server here])”
      • have a small “No, I want to sign up specifically on Lemmy.world” option

        Would also be cool to have like a short questionnaire, like picking your class in Morrowind, but instead you end up on a German industrial metal music instance.
