One of the reasons I use this to promote Lemmy is that it defaults to lemm.ee and users don’t run into descision fatigue when picking an instance

Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative, Lemmy It also has a Mobile-App

I use it alongside Reddit, and I’m enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over

It would be nice if it could also default to eg. sh.itjust.works and other generalist instances

sh.itjust.works

I’ve seen people deterred by the name containing"shit"

  For me it was one of the main motivations to join sh.it.just.works

    Yeah, it literally reads “shit just works”. Who doesn’t want their shit to just work? I know I do.

  Yea unfortunately a clean easy url matters

    A good URL is extremely important for growth. But I wouldn’t say unfortunately, as I don’t think sh.itjust.works users have any desire to become a very large server. We seem to thrive as a smaller, more tight-knit community.
    
    That’s the beauty of the fediverse, whether you’re on the largest or the smallest server, you are basically accessing the same content. The rapid growth of lemm.ee benefits all of us.
