I couldn’t agree more! I just finished switching over to Voyager from wefwef.

I’m subscribed to both and I’ve barely seen any posts from either. I’m hoping to start getting some diverse content from both of them.

Keep up the good work!

I came over from Reddit right after Apollo shut down on June 30, and TBH, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stay after that first week. I was seeing the same posts each day no matter how I sorted, and barely any of the posts had any interaction. I’ve seen a huge jump in quality posts and conversation in the last 2-3 days for some reason, and I’ve been popping over to Reddit less just to have something to browse. I’m hopeful that it keeps getting better from here.

It sounds like there’s more to you being “selected“ than just filling out a survey. Unless you really need the money I wouldn’t bother.

It’s working for me; I’m in the US

I ran into the same issue with Lemmy.World. Tried switching to Beehaw.org first (before I learned that they had defederated from some of the bigger instances) and had my “application” rejected. Appears I didn’t provide good enough reasons for why I wanted to join their particular instance. To me, it just shouldn’t be that serious. Tried sh.it just.works and well, it works!
