I’m currently struggling to find my home. I have an account here at lemmy.ml, where most of my posts are, and one at kbin.
Why do you think your instance is the place to be?

Not gonna lie. I’ve got multiple accounts across platforms. But yours seems to be responding quickly and the content is solid, so… here I am.
- Z______ ( @Z______@kbin.social ) 0•1 year ago
Yeah, I was a bit confused at the start and in my haste created a few different accounts across kbin, lemmy.world, and Mastodon. Worst case scenario I have backups and I’ll just end up using the instance I prefer the most, the most.

I landed at vlemmy.net. I tried to register at a few bigger ones that gave infinite circles. By the time I got to vlemmy I wasn’t really being too picky anymore, I was just trying to figure out if the problem was me or overloading.
A nice side effect of landing there is that some of my very few subscriptions are on beehaw, and we haven’t been defederated.

Yeah, I’m on lemmy.one because of that issue too.

I’m on Beehaw because there are no downvote button
- gurmif ( @gurmif@sopuli.xyz ) English1•1 year ago
But what would happen if I down voted you from a different instance?
- small44 ( @small44@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago
I don’t know but I think there is more chance to get downvoted on the instance you are than on other instances

I joined lemmy.ml because the join-lemmy site gave me extremely little to go on. It was a coin toss between this and beehaw.org once I realized how few instances were established and not right-wing.
That was only 2 weeks ago and already I’ve seen the site force 2 server upgrades, even as the admins have strongly encouraged new users to join elsewhere to prevent centralization.
The instance list desperately needs a few columns added, including whether new signups are encouraged or discouraged.

I can highly recommend this list: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
- gigachad ( @gigachad@feddit.de ) English4•1 year ago
feddit.de because it was made for german potatoes like me
- fennec ( @fennec@feddit.de ) English0•1 year ago
Potatoes unite!

Munching on fries rn is this cannabilism?
- fennec ( @fennec@feddit.de ) English1•1 year ago
Yes and I’ve contacted the authorities thanks for the tip

I actually made my home in the one hosting a previous reddit community I was fond of, just choose one u like.
- dotslashme ( @dotslashme@infosec.pub ) English3•1 year ago
infosec.pub because their communities were interesting.

I created my own instance so that I know it will not just “go away”.
Edit: I have a feeling that a lot of instances, besides the big ones, will vanish after the newness wears off.

I was looking for a furry one. Found pawb.social and yiffit. Stuck with the one that had nsfw. They both are Lemmy instances
- hejsan ( @hejsan@feddit.nl ) English2•1 year ago
It really doesn’t matter too much. You can search for communities across the fediverse anyway.
- DarkGamer ( @DarkGamer@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
I prefer kbin’s UI to the other federated servers I’ve tried. Beehaw is probably #2 for me, and it seems like a really nice community. Mastodon.social is also cool but it’s a lot more twitter-like which I have a hard time getting used to.
- freebrick ( @freebrick@kbin.social ) 2•1 year ago
I initially made an account here because it looked cool. But I didn’t know that kbin was part of the Federation so I also made an account on the newly created lemmy.world instance just to bounce between kbin and lemmy. But once federation was enabled here I subscribed to all the communities I had subscribed on lemmy world. Still bounce between the two buuuuut spending most of my time here. Love you guys!

For the meme.

Back in my day, the only instance that federated with all other instances was lemmy.ml 👴🏻
