Beehaw 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.
Beehaw is such a nice place to visit, but I’m too much of an asshole to live there.
Posting 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.
Yeah 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.
I’m enjoying Beehaw. I really haven’t looked around at other instances that much, but it’s pretty chill here.
I prefer sopuli.xyz
He’s right. No bias, I swear.
Was waiting for an instance admin lol

Loyalty to dbzer0
It’s not a cult, I swear! :D
db0 , 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
That’s what I like to hear!
Shhh, don’t tell
Hehe yep
Edit: and i just realised i posted this from my other account and not my dbzer0 account lol. But point still stands
TRAITOR
lemmy.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.

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
Lemm.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!!!
slrpnk.net :D
SLRPNK best instance
As an American I prefer lemmy.ca
mander.xyz is my favorite. Love and subscribed to the most of the communities it have.
Omg yes they are really bringing the best science communities.
For some weird reason, I can’t access that instance from work. Probably DNS related.

Yeah, 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 😅
I like mine because it is mine :)
lemmy.ohaa.xyz, cause its mine :D
now THATS the spirit!
lemmy.blahaj.zone because im biased
just like me…
Lemm.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

I would be there but I was only put off by the fact that they’ve got an inactive admin which is usually a security flaw.
deleted by creator
He still holds admin powers, which people might easily dismiss but I’ve had experience in past times with rogue former admins causing serious problems - you never leave inactive users with admin powers no matter how trustworthy they seem.
deleted by creator
He came back just to make other people admins and then disappeared again, which also raises questions over the ownership of the instance. It’s best security practice to have users with minimal necessary powers so if someone’s not admining they shouldn’t have admin powers since that increases the attack surface. Also the way the contingency plans were aborted the second he lifted a finger with no explanation or apology sort of rubbed me up the wrong way.

I’m having a bit of a moan, I wouldn’t want anyone to make a decision like that purely on my account, you should make your own decision. Maybe feddit.uk will turn out fine, I hope it does, I’m just explaining why I don’t use it. lemmy.zip seems to be a responsibly run instance with similar federation policies to feddit.uk
My main is reddthat.com
Clear and open admins; smaller instance with room to grow; it’s my personal favorite
