Whether or not they have signups disabled, lemmy.ml isn’t a good instance to sign up for. It’s the biggest, and is “too big” for the hardware available to the admins, as described in https://lemmy.ml/post/1147770. Join-lemmy.org has other options. Good choices have 100 - 1000 active users. Above 1k active users and you’re at the leading edge of being on one of the biggest Lemmy instances that has ever existed and are in danger of experiencing lag and other performance problems as people continue to pile on.
@awdsns if i may ask how do you know they are not accepting new accounts?
