I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn't look much different to me. Can anyone explain?

Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I'm drawing is that for my purposes it doesn't really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded

They still need to know about the servers, though. There's no centralized index of servers. If you set up a lemmy-based website today, and you do nothing to make contact with the rest of the network, the network's not going to find out about you.

There's no home to phone to.

There's no canonical whole that we all have access to.

thats kind of on the admins though.
