What caused users to sign up to specifically lemmy.ml, instead of other servers? I am aware a lot of users signed up after the spez AMA, but even before the AMA the site was overloaded.

My first impulse as an ex-redditor is to flock to the server with highest population, because I am sheep. I want to see the most content and comments. For me fortunately likewise it took two minutes to figure out that you can see any content from any server. Maybe the server list on join-lemmy.org should show "load percentage" instead of "number of users" :)

I don’t think there’s a good universal definition of “load percentage”
