In the last two days I witnessed three separate instances where a new user doesn’t understand that lemmy is bigger than just lemmy.ml
They would either vent or attack lemmy for say its moderation or users’ opinions when in fact they’re only criticizing lemmy.ml
It’s perplexing how they end up on lemmy.ml when the instances page doesn’t put lemmy.ml on top. Is it because of the high userbase? If that’s the case, devs still got to make it absolutely clear on their website how lemmy functions as a whole. Maybe insert extra dialogs when trying to sign up and move the “join a server” button to thr bottom of the page so people would scroll through and read.
Probably because people post the link to Lemmy.ml on Reddit and stuff.
