Does it actually matter?
Lemmy.ml and lemmygrad as well as tech.de (or something similar) I might host myself sometime later. I was on mastodont a while before , went back and tired of proprietary again. This time I am thoroughly fed up and will stay.
For me defederation is good. I see the problem with filterbubbles but I’m to old for this shit. I rather be in my bubble.
I’m the admin :p
Same
Because I’m a furry. obligatory OwO
lemmy.ml because when I joined I had no idea of how the fediverse worked. I’d change it to a smaller one but it really doesn’t matter much I don’t think.
I’m on lemmy.sdf.org because it’s widely federated and run by a trustworthy organization.
I’m not much of a tech bro - in fact I struggle with troubleshooting basic Linux issues. That’s why I mostly interact outside of my local instance.
I hardly engage with the techy discussion on SDF, but I appreciate the high quality user base.
I’m also on SDF. They’ve been in the business of offering free computing resources to the public since the 80s. So I feel confident that they won’t close up shop due to lack of expertise or resources.
I was going to come in here and praise SDF but I see I’m too late
Damn you Dark Souls Remastered for taking me away from Lemmy for a bit!
I guess I’ll link the FAQ for SDF here for anyone interested in learning more
and also mention that SDF runs a Mastodon and Pixelfed instance for all your federation needs
I’m also late to the party. But I’ve been on SDF for ages so I always try out everything they offer.
I’m on sh.itjust.works. Not gonna lie, related to that name naturally.
I chose lemmy.ca because I’m a proud Canadian patriot 💪🇨🇦🫡
Same here. Just seemed like the right choice.
I saw a youtube video that said lemmy.ml was full so you can’t join. I just picked a random one that wasn’t ml so I chose lemmy.world
Even lemmy.word, at least for me, was difficult to join. I have a hard time to log into the account I have created there. I think we must understand this is not redit, the platform is fundamentally different how you approach it. The fuller the server gets, the more difficult it gets to get into your account.
I signed up with beehaw first, but realized that they were defederated from lemmygrad, which I wanted access to. As I became more acquainted with lemmy and started looking into the “flavors” of the different instances, I joined lemmy.ml because they are unapologetic communists and won’t defederate with lemmygrad.
As an aside, it’s fucking insane to me that lemmygrad is so controversial yet there’s crickets about exploding-heads and people are happy to be on instances that don’t block them. Cool
Everywhere I’ve seen has been defederating from exploding-heads.
