But why have an extra website? I just don't see the point. That's just extra work. And a good amount of people will never find out it's there and get here in a different way. We could just do away with all of that.
This way the Lemmy devs have to maintain a seperate website. Curate a list of instances. I have to agree with that. Everyone has to remember to always post links to join-lemmy.org. Users who're just lurking and deciding to go to the menu and just click "sign up" will miss that information. All of that to save someone from doing a single click?
