desu It was so much easier to do before though.
VRC listed every instance of a world, even empty ones, so you could scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and pick the very last, empty instance and numberdrop that in the thread. it would not get bumped up the list until it started filling up, and by that point it was easy to just start over, dropping a portal to a new empty instance at the bottom of the list.

VRC changing that so only populated instances are shown was the worst change they ever made, unironically. it made the worlds far more fleeting, as otherwise you had much more stability in instances. they felt like actual locations to explore as there were always instances available, and not just "made to order" instances, if that makes sense.

I recall some time ago hearing something along the lines of a lament from Tupper, or a comment, that most groups had retreated to friends+, not just vrg, and vrc wasnt sure what to do about that.

Doing public instances just isnt as viable to meet newfags, unless youdeliberately pick unpopular worlds that nobody ever goes to, in order to avoid random people flooding in immediately
