name and logo tbh

Easy to remember url, haven’t had a single issue with acces or content. Not Canadian but I appreciate the general vibe of the people from the country that I’ve interacted and worked with. Great experience so far!

me

I joined because the rego page for lemmy.world wouldn't work, overloaded?

I liked the domain. It makes me smile.

I'm on a different instance, but I figured I would just say hello to a fellow Minnesotan!

funny domain, good structure, small, non-controversial and apolitical

IDK the seal icon got me :)

The icon of the happy lemming does it for me.

I appreciate the 'Honorary Canadian' bit, too... I used to live in Duluth and have said the same myself!

Great domain, site is responsive (after I tried couple others)

I like Canada even if I'm not from it. Plus it seems like a nice quiet place to call a Lemmy home and figure this whole thing out without being overwhelmed. Like, peer into the All and go "whoa man" then just hit Local and chill for a bit.

Been here since almost the first day the server opened up: what makes this place different is our ruleset, admin and users.

Ruleset: Very simple and basic. @TheDude doesn't want to over-moderate, as far as I can tell. No need to tone-police or clamp down on what people can/can't say, as long as it's respectful. I really like that approach.

The admin: From his posts and the sheer rock-solid stability of this server and laid-back attitude, the dude abides. I know I'm not the only one who joined because of this post. Networking experts, server admins, devops guys, if they're anything like me, they look at that and think "Yup, this is where I wanna be".

Users: Early days yet, but so far the people here have been very laid-back, very nice, and helpful. Been trying to get all the newbies situated myself whenever I spot questions I can answer :) I'm hoping we can maintain this culture going forward.

I'm not a user on this instance, but from what I can tell, shit just kinda works over here.

frech help

I chose this one because it had open registrations. lemmy.world and .ml were my first choices simply due to size.

Well, as a french speaking person that is the only EN/FR server i found :)

Also a Reddit refuge. Just deleted a 6 year old account and all its content. It was a bit bittersweet but alas, it was time to move on with all that's happened. Also applied to Beehaw and Lemmy.ml but can imagine it might be a bit swamped as didn't hear back, so here I am. Glad to be here.

MN here too... enjoying Lemmy thus far
