Because on the main Lenny website world shows up as recommended. The other recommended sites want users to put an email in addition to a write up on what they can offer. Which totally kills interest for any new people.

I think the main Lenny website is to blame here tbh. It pushing users towards a few preset instances that are not really new user friendly.

Some are not accepting sign ups at all.

Love the decentralized model. I’m so over corporate run sites looking to make a profit
