Asklemmy

The final update message given out on RIF suggested Lemmy.World and so, here I am.

Does it matter?

As I have found with a few niches I've been looking for and only found communities on other instances, it may matter. I can see this post even though I am on Lemmy.World and not Lemmy.ml; but some of the other places I've wanted to look at are not federated with Lemmy.World or are semi-private and require manual authorization by an admin before you can do anything; and they can't authorize a user that doesn't interact with them somehow so I had to make a new account for those instances.

I chose lemm.ee because it came highly recommended and rightfully so. Great management and great communities too

When the ship of r/piracy sailed from the reddit docks, this where we landed next.

I wanted an instance specifically for Australians... so I made one 😀

I read some comments that lemmy.ca was well run to the extent that it was being recommended even by non-Canadians. Being Canadian myself, that was good enough for me.

It's a friendly instance and is well-run. The admin manually approved registrations which kept them safe from the great bot invasion and is now upgrading the server and bringing on more admins.

Was initially on lemmy.zip because it seemed really chill and that was such a cool instance name. I had no problems with it whatsoever but I realised it didn't block out certain instances that I disliked (aka lemmygrad). Now I'm on lemmy.fmhy.ml and I'm loving it so far since it had everything I needed:

1. Blocks out lemmygrad
2. Allows talk on piracy and NSFW content
3. Loads better compared to the more overpopulated instances
4. Wasn't very restrictive and was very welcoming (didn't even ask me for a reason for joining)

Idk, because why not Estonia.

It doesn't really matter actually, but I would prefer to stay on the one with more members as it will probably last longer than other instances

Wanted to be on a reasonably big instance, since I figure they're more likely to stick around in the long run. Lemmy.ml was closed for registration at the time (might still be, idk), and plus I have some disagreements with the admins, so I chose lemmy.world. I'm pretty happy here and don't see a reason to change personally, although the server's getting pretty overloaded recently so we'll see.

Like most commenters here, because it was recommended and I'm a newbie at this.

Question though, if I create another account on say lemm.ee, is there a way for me to migrate my subscribed communities?

A subreddit I was in linked their lemmy community and it was on dbzer0 so I created a account on there and called it a day.

I'm learning german so while i was looking for some german speaking communities. They're surprisingly big and keep growing.

I joined lemmy.world because when I first signed up it was still quite a bit smaller than lemmy.ml. I heard that new users should try to make lemmy grow horizontally by joining other instances. I guess joining world wasn't the best choice for achieving that in retrospect 🙂

I saw people complaining that the admins were communists and I was like dope, I love those guys

Plus healthy number of users (maybe too many actually) and local communities

I chose Aussie.zone cause I'm out of touch with my own country so seeing the news here is nice and cause I thought it would be easier to join a country instance.

Also optional email and I know I could make a temp email but I can't be bothered.

Biggest German server and good community.

I chose vlemmy.net cause it seemed neutral, general, and was one of the recommended ones. So far so good.

Es ist Deutschland hier!

I picked pawb because furries know tech really well, so I can trust the server to be fairly reliable.

Bouncing between several since lemmy.world is being hammered right now, I'm sure once the dust settles things will calm down. Right now I'm on infosec.pub because it was recommended to me as a smaller server. It really doesn't matter so long as whatever you're on communicates with everyone else.

Country, I live in The Netherlands so I searched for a Dutch hosted instance with Dutch owner.

I'd heard you shouldn't pick one of the largest, I explicitly didn't want a server run by Nazis, Paleolibertarians, or Marxist-Leninists, and I didn't mind the rules here.

I joined the one hosted by my country's community. The community is really great.

Made one on lemmy.world but it's crumbling under the pressure as we speak. Tried a local one, but it has like 5 users. Don't trust it to live long enough. So started using the star trek one, because star trek. Not as if you'd need any other reason

I joined lemmy.ca because I like to keep a diet of local news and a place to avoid American influence. I like using my local feed for well the local stuff and then my subscriptions for all the niche interests that the Canadian community couldn't sustain alone.

So I joined lemmy.world because I use to be a user of reddit is fun, rip, and in their going away message they mentioned .world. So I joined that instance not realizing how the fediverse works.

Overall what I've seen is the instance you join determines your "front page" since by default it will be set to show local communities. Other than that subscribe to any community from any instance then set your front page to show "subscribed" or "all" and you get your basic Reddit experience

I was looking for a lemmy instance that would let me create communities, downvote if I wanted to downvote, and that would take care of troublemakers without being too overly restrictive.

I also wanted to ease the burden on the very busy lemmy instances that were being overwhelmed by the reddit Exodus.

It seems I have found a place. The SDF has a very long history of serving several communities in the internet and Linux world. I first ran into them decades ago, and they are still here.

I'm with the boys on lemm.ee !

Tried lemmy.world as a reddit refugee but with the performance issues they're experiencing, quickly went looking for another instance with better performance and a decent amount of extra content. Lemmy.ml is blocked at work (.ml TLD is freenom so prone to abuse) and registration is closed anyway, so decided on lemm.ee.

Far better speed, a good amount of content locally, and few/no errors at the moment.

I have a few now just to test it out. I want to use feddit.nl as my standard server, but I just haven't fully figured out how this all works.

Like for example I'm on lemmy.world and subscribe to something, that channel/sub doesn't seem to appear on feddit.nl. there can be a channel with the same name but it isn't the one I subscribed to.

It doesn't but I thought it did

Its status on federation with problematic instances.

First I made one on ml. Then I made one on kbin because everyone said ml was a bunch of tankies and had some shady shit going on. Then none of the apps supported kbin so now I made one on world. Lol and I have no idea which one between world and ml I'm even posting from right now since I'm logged into both on liftoff

I am hosting it lol
