I really want to give Lemmy a chance as a #reddit alternative. But the largest instance is like "we're full, stop being so basic, go find another instance"; the second largest instance is like "please write the admins an essay to convince us to let you sign up", like they see themselves as a temporarily embarrassed Ivy League college. And the rest of the instances are like "this is a space for avid yogurt collectors who are also devout small-government libertarians, instance rules are in Esperanto. Current users: 7". Maybe I'm just a lame normie but this doesn't seem inviting
