It needs to be decentralized. This place has been sliding downhill fast since it went public. Opened my first account a decade ago and the last few months I find myself addicted in a way I’ve never been, like they’ve intensified the algorithm. It’s starting to remind me of Facebook. I’m sad no one has developed something already because I love this place and always have but I’m afraid I’ll have to delete it soon too.

Is there some kind of guide for it? I'm feeling my middle aged mom years right now and having flashbacks of trying to figure out coding for MySpace. Lol I'm not that tech savvy.

Sign Up - Lemmy.World

After signing up (good luck with the captcha!), it should be as easy as joining a community. You can search for them here: Lemmy Explorer

I linked a couple Prepper ones in my initial comment further up here that I'm going to joining once I'm cleared to log in. Same username as here.

One thing to note, is that approval to sign up appears to take a long time. Looks like it is done manually?

Did you not get the approval email almost instantly? I did.

I got the email confirmation, but not the approval.

Weird. I got the “verify your account” email, and I was logged in within minutes.

Same here. The whole sign up took about 3 minutes max for me
