Edit: We’ve lost to South Africa. Please help with overwriting this r/ to c/ instead!

The previous one by The Black Company was too wide to defend against Italy. Let’s make this one! I know LEMMY.ML is not the full Lemmyverse but we don’t have space for JOIN-LEMMY.ORG now.
To use its template, install the r/place userscript (guide) and go to https://new.reddit.com/r/place/?jsontemplate=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FChaoticNeutralCzech%2FmyRandomImages%2Fmain%2FplaceLemmyTemplate.json&screenmode=fullscreen
or if you already have it, import one of these (either the URLencoded one in URL, or the raw one in plugin settings)

Please god no! A majority of the Lemmy population is already on that server. It’s presence on SEO and everybody’s insistence to use that server is already a problem with trying to push a federated model. The owner’s vain goal of trying to maintain the largest Lemmy server isn’t helping matters.
We’re already in a position where, if lemmy.world went down, the Lemmy federation would be in a crippled state.
Lemmy.world is by far the best experience for a new user. You can convince people to move to a new instance once they’re already on lemmy.world. Starting off in a random instance is much more confusing.
But, people won’t just move off of their instance for no reason. The general public is too stuck on the idea that Lemmy is one domain and that your account is important to keep.
Either there is a reason or there isn’t. If there’s a valid reason to move to a different instance ethen people will. If not, then what’s the harm in using lemmy.world? More importantly, people won’t move off of reddit if their initial experience with Lemmy is negative or confusing.
Midwest.social is friggin fantastic.
(I would have said “fuckin”, but we’re “Midwest nice” and don’t want to offend people.)
Except for the problem that lemmy.world often runs sluggishly on account of the overload.
