What caused users to sign up to specifically lemmy.ml, instead of other servers? I am aware a lot of users signed up after the spez AMA, but even before the AMA the site was overloaded.

It’s been linked to all over Reddit when they should be linking to join-lemmy instead. Federation is a bit confusing if you’re new, plus you have instances like Beehaw and lemmygrad with their own questionable policies…

Yeah what’s wrong with them? There seem to be many interesting communities (at least going by first look or familiarity through comparable subs on reddit)?!
I’m a fan of Beehaw, but some people don’t really like their policies about being a “being nice”.
I can live with that if they’re considered “too woke”.
Just from looking at introductory stuff, I get a weird vibe. Several pages of just reading about it and positivity and how the rule(s) are vague/broad for a reason and its a little offputting. Im sure im just overreacting or something, and im sure everyone there is actually super nice, but ive always been slow to trust, and beehaw sets off alarm bells for me. Do wanna reiterate tho, everyone there does seem very friendly and im sure its great.
This, plus I heard that the admins on there can be inconsistent with rule enforcement due to the vagueness.
I get a weird vibe, almost like “toxic positivity”, plus beehaw is defederating from two of the biggest servers, which seems to go against the whole fediverse ethos to me. I’ve also heard stories about inconsistent rule enforcement.
