Not really Originally there were 21 mobile welcome regions but last week 16 went offline and now another 4 just leaving 1 I’m assuming new avatar signups on mobile are low rather than existing avatars exploring mobile so currently there isn’t the need for 20 of them

Yes my thoughts as well Actually that should have read 16 leaving not 15 It may be a load balancing thing 21 was originally estimated but after initial interest maybe they need less & 5 is enough now These are welcome areas rather than everyday usage so I probably shouldn’t read too much into this

Tyche Shepherd @tycheshepherd.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Thank You , I joined over a year ago - but just posted for the first time today . I was always a slow learner but I guess increasing the tempo of migration from that other place sort of prompted me to be more active here
