Who owns lemm.ee and why do people choose it over other instances?
-
Can't speak for others, but my decision to stick with lemm.ee stemmed from seeing how active the owner is, the minimal defederation and the bot & moderation policies meaning there are minimal bots, and I've yet to currently see much spam issues, which is nice.
Also helps that the owner Sunaurus is an active contributor to the Lemmy project as a whole, so we get patches and fixes relatively quickly.

Non-techy people want a big instance, but .world goes offline too often and .ml doesn't allow new sign ups.

When I tested different instances lemm.ee was quite small compared to the big ones. The main pros are technically fast and stable. It also federates comprehensively.
Edit: also remembered that it hasn't had any insane admin/rule situations that I've noticed

.ml doesn’t allow new sign ups.
It does, however one must know what is six minus two to get the approval.

They were during the thick of the Reddit migration

Do I qualify now? : )

Also lemme.ee is not defederated from one or two instances that I want to access consistently which is why I made a new account there for my new main

You sure about that? I just made this account a few days ago.

They closed sign ups during the early days of the migration up until recently. I just missed the moment they're open again since I'm not interested in large instances.

Because it is more open and lenient in not defedereting and as a user i can choose which subs and instances to block.
