Just noticed that unlike mastodons join page, lemmy doesn't have a "join" or "create an account" button. It'd be nice to have one, it would be more straightforward to join.

Or perhaps there is a reason why it doesn't exist?

I feel like with lemmy and how differently the instances are from eachother, it's probably better to look around an instance and decide if it's right for you before you join. I feel a lot of people go into any then get shocked when they inevitably break a rule and get banned.

I guess there's a nice idea behind the process. But tbh, I don't even remember what instance I joined. I tried joining a tech instance but my application was rejected ... I'm really not that interested in applying like it's a job or something. (Though I understand lots of IRL groups have application processes)
