We did it!

Wait that wasn't the point.

People seem to only want their accounts on "general use" instances that are already pretty popular.

Which is... bizarre. There is no downside to having your account on a more niche instance (as long as it isn't so niche that it gets turned off), and there are arguably disadvantages to having your account on a more popular instance.

I've found that sometimes old posts don't propagate to newer servers. So if you want to participate in a old thread, you need another account.
