Title says it all!? I’m a reddit refuge and picked this instance because it’s A) Canadian (I’m in MN, so consider myself an honorary Canadian), and B) The clean energy thing.

Applied to Beehaw but never heard back. Dittos on Lemmy.ML!

So hoping this is going to be a great “home” away from Reddit for the foreseeable future.

Cheers, and well done on the instance, admins!

    Thanks for hosting this instance. Apart from the great name and the chill environment, this is the first instance that let me sign in without issues or infinitely spinning buttons. Also it looks like this one has better server capacity compared to other instances!

    I was mainly a lurker in reddit, but will try to be more active here.

      I had the same experience. I almost didn’t make it onto the lemmyverse - I tried lemmy.ml and beehaw, didn’t get let in / tried to log in too soon after I applied, then forgot about it.

      Any site with an application process is going to turn away a lot of people.

        Hard agree, I started with beehaw, saw that it has an application process, and I didn’t even bother.

        The fact that they defederated from this instance says a lot about them too.

          Exactly. I’ve got an account there, but i view it as basically useless now.

          They’re way too uptight about a lot of shit to be an open forum of discussion.
