anothermember ( @anothermember@beehaw.org ) 19•6 months agoBeehaw is a quieter experience than most because it has narrower federation, but you do tend to get a better signal to noise ratio since you miss the spammier instances - I like it.
Beehaw also doesn’t federate downvotes which I think is an improvement.
deegeese ( @deegeese@sopuli.xyz ) 4•6 months agoBeehaw is such a nice place to visit, but I’m too much of an asshole to live there.
anothermember ( @anothermember@beehaw.org ) 2•6 months agoPosting from a Beehaw account I think does have a psychological effect on me that causes me to naturally tone things down a bit. I think it’s been good for me.
inverted_deflector ( @inverted_deflector@startrek.website ) 2•6 months agoYeah and in addition to that the overall “be(e) nice” rule means that people are generally just a lot more pleasant to be around and less abrasive than what I see in some of the other larger instances.
Only issue is I recently opened another account because theyre leaving lemmy eventually and currently my posts dont federate and all my subscriptions are pending.

Nothing’s concrete yet. I have accounts on several instances for their various advantages, but Beehaw is what I’ve settled on as my main “default” for now. The Subscribe Pending is a bug, I don’t think it affects your posts federating so they’re separate issues if that’s the case.
JCPhoenix ( @JCPhoenix@beehaw.org ) English16•6 months agoI’m enjoying Beehaw. I really haven’t looked around at other instances that much, but it’s pretty chill here.
QuentinCallaghan ( @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz ) English13•6 months agoI prefer sopuli.xyz
MentalEdge ( @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ) 7•6 months agoHe’s right. No bias, I swear.
SnokenKeekaGuard ( @SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 7•6 months agoWas waiting for an instance admin lol
lil ( @lil@lemy.lol ) English3•6 months agosopuli.xyz was my first instance because it was the biggest one that didn’t require registration approval, but after Lemmy became popular I switched to lemmy.world because sopuli was defederated from lemmygrad.ml
SnokenKeekaGuard ( @SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 13•6 months agoLoyalty to dbzer0
db0 ( @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 5•6 months agoIt’s not a cult, I swear! :D
KDE ( @KDE@monyet.cc ) 3•6 months agodb0 , i really like your server tbh but my monyet.cc is serving me currently well the fact that you have a photon , tensorrect etc as alternate frontends is kinda cool as well :p thanks man , we as a community appreciate your instance and its c/piracy -fellow pirate
db0 ( @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•6 months agoThat’s what I like to hear!
Melatonin ( @Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 3•6 months agoShhh, don’t tell
AdeptusPrimaris ( @stmcld@lemmy.ml ) 2•6 months agoHehe yep
Edit: and i just realised i posted this from my other account and not my dbzer0 account lol. But point still stands
SnokenKeekaGuard ( @SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•6 months agoTRAITOR
PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S [he/him] ( @PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org ) English12•6 months agolemmy.sdf.org when it works; federation there is kinda fucked right now, so
I’m on lemmy.today for now.I accidentally posted it from SDF. Comment if you can see this.SDF has an extensive track record (* much longer than I have been alive*) of providing systems for the public good. If federation gets fixed (and it probably will eventually), I’ll be back on SDF.
Additionally, I generally don’t want the set of people I can connect with to be technically limited, like at all. Yes that includes “all the bad people” according to your (and my) individual worldview. If they’re going to exist, I would prefer to have advanced notice of the danger they pose. If you suck, I will block you.
I’m not against moderated or curated instances, and for most people that is probably the way to go, but it’s not what I personally need. Yes, this means that I occasionally get wild shit when I choose to scroll through All. Yes, that means I get various shades of genocide apologists and weird bigots, again when I choose not to browse by Local or Subscribed. That’s why I’m subscribed to a bunch of cool, moderated communities. I choose the content I see.
That is the approach I prefer for myself. Again, I understand that it’s not for everyone.
As far as instances where I’m not (yet) a member, lemmy.dbzer0.com is my favorite by far. Also while I don’t have any communities on their instance, the startrek.website people seem to always have something interesting to say.
ianovic69 ( @ianovic69@feddit.uk ) English4•6 months agoI see you!
Personally I am pretty bias towards lemm.ee, mostly because it’s the instance I joined when starting out. I mostly do all because i personally don’t prefer using local communities. Don’t really care about federation, just like using lemmy either way
TexMexBazooka ( @TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee ) 9•6 months agoLemm.ee. I like the defederation policy, and in my experience the community and its admins have always been very responsive.
lemm.ee fans RISE UP!!!
Krydex ( @Krydex@slrpnk.net ) 8•6 months agoslrpnk.net :D
ℕ𝕖𝕞𝕠 ( @Nemo@midwest.social ) 2•6 months agoSLRPNK best instance
Lexam ( @Lexam@lemmy.ca ) English7•6 months agoAs an American I prefer lemmy.ca
TadeuszBonawentura ( @TadeuszBonawentura@kbin.social ) 7•6 months agomander.xyz is my favorite. Love and subscribed to the most of the communities it have.
livus ( @livus@kbin.social ) 1•6 months agoOmg yes they are really bringing the best science communities.
unalivejoy ( @joyjoy@lemm.ee ) English1•6 months agoFor some weird reason, I can’t access that instance from work. Probably DNS related.
averyminya ( @averyminya@beehaw.org ) 2•6 months agoA lot of “weird” TLDs are just automatically blocked for security.
Like, realistically what site would your business/work utilize utilitytoolsales(.)xyz? Chances seem higher that would be a bogus site to harvest information.
Unfortunately fun social networks get affected lol
Salamander ( @Sal@mander.xyz ) 3•6 months agoYeah, I found out only after choosing that domain name… This TLD also gets penalized by the automatic e-mail spam detectors (like SpamAssassin). I wouldn’t pick the “.xyz” TLD if I were picking today 😅
kate ( @kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com ) English7•6 months agoI like mine because it is mine :)
ɐɥO ( @Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz ) 6•6 months agolemmy.ohaa.xyz, cause its mine :D
now THATS the spirit!
Blue and Orange ( @DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee ) 4•6 months agoLemm.ee seems pretty okay.
I don’t care much about instances though, I just use Lemmy like it’s Reddit and scroll through the home page and my subscriptions
katy ✨ ( @cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•6 months agolemmy.blahaj.zone because im biased
just like me…
MrShankles ( @MrShankles@reddthat.com ) 3•6 months agoMy main is reddthat.com
Clear and open admins; smaller instance with room to grow; it’s my personal favorite
lil ( @lil@lemy.lol ) English3•6 months agoMy favourite instance is lemy.lol because it uses 0.19 rc version, has short domain name, and nice UI theme, and that’s why I choosed it for my account
I agree, I wish lemm.ee was update to date smh, I’ll think about making an account there
lil ( @lil@lemy.lol ) 1•6 months agooh yeah, url only
