That's by design for sure.

Maybe instead of asking which instance, we could do some sort of categorization and ask in which topics someone is interested and the instance chosen based on that?

I think many people quickly get lost on the term instance and what it means.

That's cool! Was it hard to set it up?

But I cannot share this here, unfortunately.

but I don’t understand why it’s not happening.

Because there is not much money to make in the process. I think we need to lobby politicians to step in.

The Name needs changed, you see who shows up when you search Lemmy. The easiest thing to do is switch it to “Lemme” (Sounds like “Let Me”, like just lemme post this) or Lemy.

Good ideas for new names, however, I think this is seen very controversial in the community.

Lemmy needs an app that is just as easy as Reddit to sign up for. It needs to drop on the person’s computer desktop and sign them into a default federation that auto accepts everyone. The initial signup process is confusing to people, with the website listing different federation and having to apply and wait. Some auto accept, people need to be pointed to those.

Some sort of rotation system would be cool that distributes the users across multiple instances. That way no single instance gets too big.

Cool. And are you still using Reddit or are you using Lemmy exclusively?

the fediverse is not that aggressively publicized

For sure.

doesn’t know where to go and what’s the difference between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc.

They also know the difference between Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. Why shouldn't they get it here?

Haven't found a website translation service from them, unfortunately.

That looks good!

Sow how are we getting people to join the Fediverse?

Me too! What do you think we can do to get more people to join the Fediverse?
