My 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

thespezfucker OP ,

I agree, I wish lemm.ee was update to date smh, I’ll think about making an account there

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.

thespezfucker OP ,

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

I see you!

jacktherippah ,

Hello! I can see you!

hperrin ,

Is it weird to not have a favorite?

thespezfucker OP ,

no

anothermember ,

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.

inverted_deflector ,

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.

deegeese ,

Beehaw is such a nice place to visit, but I’m too much of an asshole to live there.

anothermember ,

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.

As an American I prefer lemmy.ca

unpopular hexbear because seeing both sides of the propaganda broadens my critical thinking more than echo chambers, yes-men, and logical fallacies being thrown my way instead of supporting data

empireOfLove ,
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

I respect the devotion to always collecting information from both sides, but if you think hexbear isn’t 100% echo chamber and logical fallacies, then I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

kakes ,

The solution to being fed propaganda isn’t to seek out more propaganda.

Even a pencil can be used as a weapon if you’re clever. ;) but I try to refrain from telling other people how to live their lives.

TexMexBazooka ,

Lemm.ee. I like the defederation policy, and in my experience the community and its admins have always been very responsive.

thespezfucker OP ,

lemm.ee fans RISE UP!!!

danhakimi ,

I'm liking kbin more for the web UI than anything, but it's had some weird federation issues, so I might move one day.

I used lemmy.ml back when the lemmyverse was pretty much just pro-Russia tankies, it wasn't that great.

thespezfucker OP ,

wait, lemmy instance can have custom ui’s?!?

jayknight ,

Lemmy and kbin are two different pieces of software that both implement the activitypub protocol in a way that they can federate with each other. So it’s not just a different UI on top of Lemmy backend (which is also possible).

Shadow ,
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, several instances offer this. Come to lemmy.ca and look in our sidebar for a few examples.

Kbin is a totally different app though.

Oha ,

lemmy.ohaa.xyz, cause its mine :D
