I consider Lemmy.world as being my main home instance, and I think it’s probably one of the best. However, it does occasionally seem to have some downtime, so I have accounts on a couple of smaller instances, lemdro.id and lemmy.zip, both of which I think also work very well.
Don’t worry about it, it’s no big deal.
It is strange that the link opens that for you. My first screenshot was from Jerboa, however, I also have Connect for Lemmy installed on my phone. Here’s a screenshot of the page that the link opens in it. It opens the correct post for me. So I don’t know what the problem could be. I just hope this doesn’t continue to be a problem on Lemmy, that wouldn’t be good.
Here’s a link to a list of Lemmy apps:
I mostly use Jerboa, but if I start having issues with it, I also have Liftoff, Connect, wefwef, Thunder and a shortcut/PWA (for each instance that I have an account with) installed on my phone, so I can always use one of them as well, plus I like to see how each of the apps are progressing. Mostly though, just waiting for Sync for Lemmy to be released.
Here’s a link to a post that was made by the mod of lemm.ee, who says in the post , “There is currently a huge wave of automated spambot sign-ups on other Lemmy instances.”

In the post he also includes a list of instances that he thinks are affected with these bots. Here’s the link to that. It looks like the instances that are in your top 10 list are on his list too.
I like that Lemmy doesn’t have karma points, and hopefully it never will. I actually wish that it didn’t even have the downvote button. For me, that was one of the bad things about Reddit, you could just make an innocent comment, and users would downvote you for no reason. I didn’t even realize Kbin had reputation points. I’m glad that I chose Lemmy.
I’m in the US, and no, I cannot drive a manual transmission. I did try to learn when I was younger, but just couldn’t get the hang of it, plus I didn’t really see the point, when automatic transmissions exist.
