Also please consider using other instances for your account. Lemmy.world is struggling and the costs will keep rising for Ruud.

MODERATORS
People need to donate. This is really the first test to see if Lemmy can become a true alternative. If the first popular instance collapses, that is going to discourage non-tech people who are already skeptical. I doubt that most want to have to maintain accounts of multiple instances, myself included.

It might be a little cringe but I embrace being a lemming.
Migrated here from RIF (RIP), lemmy.world being suggested on top of the how to join guide definitely played a part in choosing this instance along with all the recommendations from other users.
Definitely feel much more inclined to comment here than on Reddit as of late, all the regurgitated meme shitposts and karma farming bot comments were getting really old. If it takes donating / paying a sub to keep Lemmy human discussion focused, that's what I will do.
I've signed up to lemmy.world don't know what an instance is or why it might be important to sign up to something different. Want to help as much as possible. Please educate me!

My prediction is the .world will become a default sort of federation for popular communities until the App joins come in and we then start forming smaller communities under .Apollo and .Sync.
I want to see the App developers being the leaders on here

I'd move to a closer instance, if I new they were in it for the long run and not shut down when they get bored after a few months. What happens if the instance I'm registered to decides to shut down?
