Weird, mine doesn't push shorts that hard. But maybe it's because I watch some here and there?

You can add custom instances on Liftoff (!liftoff@lemmy.world). It has .world, .ml, and beehaw as the defaults but you can add instances manually as well. I'm using it right now and added lemm.ee

my brother's email ends in '88' because it's his fav number. he likes it because it looks like two sideways infinity symbols. he's had his email too long and it used it for too many accounts to (easily) switch to a new one. so you're not the only one lol
