    why do people choose it over other instances?

    Non-techy people want a big instance, but .world goes offline too often and .ml doesn’t allow new sign ups.

      When I tested different instances lemm.ee was quite small compared to the big ones. The main pros are technically fast and stable. It also federates comprehensively.

      Edit: also remembered that it hasn’t had any insane admin/rule situations that I’ve noticed

      .ml doesn’t allow new sign ups.

      It does, however one must know what is six minus two to get the approval.

          They got aome of the most traffic during the migration, so it pulled itself off the instance list page i think for regiatration so that people would join other instances leveling the load

        They closed sign ups during the early days of the migration up until recently. I just missed the moment they’re open again since I’m not interested in large instances.
