    It would have been better if they communicated to us first. I don’t disagree that user signups should be spread over instances. We now have a link to https://lemmyverse.net on our signup page so people can check if another instance would fit them better.

      I posted about this in the admin chat on matrix, but you’re right the pull request was merged very quickly.

      The lemmyverse link is also a good idea, but users only see it after filling in their email and password. At that point it’s unlikely that they would cancel it and go to a different website.

      Edit: I’m now thinking to change the joinlemmy code so that any instance with more than x% of active users will automatically be hidden.
