Thunder interprets both as communities, probably because a mistyped community is much more likely than a random email address.

I switched fully over and am in the process of degoogling and de-microsofting my life. No more easy defaults of VS Code, back to custom configuring my emacs. No more surveillance, self-hosting and encryption. No more shitty windows gaming, Linux and Proton for gaming bliss!

Not everyone wants the same flavor of the fediverse.

The current Lemmy UI doesn't display the reason. use https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ to login and you should see the reason. In any case, please join our appeals channel (it's in the sidebar) and we can sort you out.

Also maybe try not to harass them about which instance they choose to join (unless it's a tanky one lmao), just try to educate them if the subject comes up. I think it's overwhelming to jump right away into "this instance has this problem, you should move to this other one"
I say this still not having moved from Lemmy.world
