Thanks to anyone who approves me to join for Lemmy through this lemmy.ml instance.
P.S., I tried three times to sign up through the lemmy.world instance, but it failed. 🥲
Welcome, friend!
I'd advice you to be cautious with lemmy.world, it's turning into a new Reddit
(and it's bad for the network/federation to have such large centralised instances anyway. So you'd help keep the network healthy by choosing an instance besides .ml and .world)
You probably already know the join-lemmy.org instance picker, but in case you don't, here it is:

Hello and welcome! I didn't see a couple things mentioned that I thought were very helpful to me with the instance choosing, so I just wanted to pass it along...
If you look at your account kinda like an email, all the emails can communicate with each other, just like the instances can communicate. Though, an instance can also block another so thay it can not be seen/interacted with. Like, gmail deciding they will no longer accept yahoomail, for example.
.ml has been blocked by a variety of others, so you may be missing out on some interests elsewhere, that you would enjoy.
I use an app and have a few different accounts, the app lets me just swap my sign in profiles back and forth as I like. Sometimes a server goes down or an update goes bad. Having another account let's you check in on the action, on those who are still up and running while the other gets worked on. You can even use the same name, your @ will just change.
Initial sign up is roughest step really... but not much harder than grabbing a new email!
OK, that was more than a couple, hopefully something was helpful though and helps your experience here!
Hi there! I would reccomend continuing to poke around at any instances that seem cool to you.
First of all, welcome to lemmy.
Second of all, make a second/ backup account on a smaller instance based on what youre gonna use Lemmy for.
.world is a shithole full of fascists and reddit libs. Probably for the best you joined through another instance.
It's pretty simple in general: .ml is pretty much left leaning or straight up communist/socialist, while .world is mixture of the rest meaning centre to right (as everyone leftist is already on ml or hexbear, or lemmygrad).
I see. I heard that .ml is consist of the developer of the Lemmy itself, is that true? One more thing, is that .ml the pioneer/first instance in the Lemmyverse?
Welcome to Lemmy! I hope you have a great time here! 😃
Sometimes instances can have technical problems, but they are usually short-lived. It's fun to explore other Lemmy instances though!
