What caused users to sign up to specifically lemmy.ml, instead of other servers? I am aware a lot of users signed up after the spez AMA, but even before the AMA the site was overloaded.

    A lot of smaller instances defederate with mastodon.social because it’s very unmoderated. Tonnes of spammy accounts often flood smaller instance from mastodon.social which made a lot of admins defederate with it. Just as a heads up. You might not see posts from quite a few instances.
