    Lemmy.world has open account creation, while Lemmy.ml requires an essay to create an account. For that reason, I believe .world has more users. But you can access content from either one no matter which you make an account on. Similarly, you could pick another instance or even host your own and still see and post content to other instances in the Fediverse.

    I’ve tried out Mlem and Memmy, and so far I have preferred Memmy. The dev has been improving it at an insane rate too, so if you don’t love it yet, just wait a couple weeks and check again.

    I think some instances have profile pics disabled? I’m not entirely sure though.

    Fuck u/spez, indeed.

        Bit of an exaggeration but they do require an explanation on why you want to join. Just a bit of quality control and helps keep spam bots in check.

        With federation it’s in a server’s best interest to ensure the quality of their users because if you allow in a bunch of shitheels you’ll get defederated by other big servers.
