Does anybody knows how long it takes to sign up for the Lemmy.ml instance with an account? It would give me the green wheel and I don’t know if I have to wait “x” amount of time or it’s just not possible at this time.
I’m not sure. I know lemmy.ml has been up and down ever since the Reddit blackout.
Ok I guess I’ll have to see.
I would recommend using one of the instances suggested on https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Why join it? It is supper overloaded these days. You can access the same content from lemmy.world (your instance) anyway
Assuming all the instances will forever be kept, I would join the smallest one. But you never know…
My lemmy.ml account was approved a few hours after I applied. I think they just look at your application to check that you’re not likely to be a spammer or bot. I don’t have the impression they especially try to screen randos for particular interest in the FOSS community, though maybe they do.
