Idk about other people, but I don’t really know how the instances work and the lemmy.world instance name seems the least abstract. Beehaw was confusing because it’s not called lemmy so idk if it’s a different thing or what, and idk what .ml means or stands for. Lemmy.world just looks like it’s the default lemmy instance to me as a dunce who doesn’t know how lemmy works.
I think you nailed it. It comes down to usability and user experience. Migrating from Reddit and not knowing shit about fuck, I obviously choose the largest sounding instance (.world).
I still haven’t understood the whole thing yet, but the novelty is exciting and I’m willing to learn. Mass adoption needs a more streamlined experience though.
Ya it has a great domain name and didn’t require an email when I signed up at least. I’m thinking about spinning up my own instance on AWS though since the lag and “bad gateway” stuff is annoying.

I signed up on lemmy.ca but their sublemmys aren’t as populated as here. Plus jerboa let’s me pick different instances.
I too do not know shit about fuck.
