Do they though?

I was rejected when I first tried to sign up (when I was entirely new to lemmy) and they're turning at least one user away now

Ah, they do it now? When I signed up there (~3y ago) there was no such thing.

Anyway, it's still a problem because most users interacting with .ml content are from other instances.

3 years ago were there any other instances with traction? Agreed on your second point.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Nah, there were just LG and .ml, as OpenStars said. Technically HB too but they didn't federate due to technical limitations.

Lemmygrad.ml is 5 years old, and hexbear.net is 4 years old.

[–] Maeve@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. I was not accepted several times. Now I am

Why were you rejected?

Who knows? Lemmy gave very little feedback messages then. I found a good instance to stick with.

Edit: it would have been around when I made this account (i.e. couple days before blackout protest and maybe they wanted to encourage signups at the several others that had recently popped up.
