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?
I actually made my home in the one hosting a previous reddit community I was fond of, just choose one u like.
Randomly came across mine. Was gunna join a larger instance just for testing, but it was right as the big Reddit rush was happening and my signups kept failing.
So I went with this one.
I went with lemmy.ca because I figured it’d put me in proximity to Canadian Political discourse.
Back in my day, the only instance that federated with all other instances was lemmy.ml 👴🏻
Kbin because it was the first one that actually let me register and didn’t freeze
Seriously, this. I tried for days to register on Lemmy. One day I was mid-registration and the button was just spinning, doing nothing, so I came over to kbin, registered and started using the site. Lemmy never stopped spinning. No thanks.
It was doing the same thing for me but I checked my email and there was a verification, once I completed it my registration went through. It didn’t actually tell me it was sending an email which is probably a flaw but it seems that’s the missing piece.
Nice username :)
I chose kbin, loved the integration with mastodon
I don’t see the appeal of mastodon but that’s a neat feature.
I like microblogging platforms; they allow me to get information faster (albeit less information) than these types of posts.
I chose lemmy.world solely on the fact it had a lot of members. Lemmy.ml was a contender too. I just wanted to jump in and check things out. Knowing (slightly)more now, I don’t think it was a bad choice.
This was linked on some post about alternatives to that other site I want to stop using. And honestly I’m quite confused on the “it doesn’t matter/it does matter” so I’m just rolling with it and not trying to worry about it.
Lemmy.world: because it was the top result on Google and I neither knew about the other servers nor remembered my experiences with Mastodon.
Probably going to stay here anyway.
Mostly out of laziness
feddit.dk. I wanted a regional instance as my home instance, because they tend to be chill with controlled growth, while also having native language discussions. My country didn’t have a Lemmy instance at the time, so I picked the closest option. I love Denmark and they don’t seem too annoyed by my presence (yet). Thanks for having me 🫶🏻 🇩🇰
I chose lemmy.world after lemmy.ml closed their registration. Just glad I made my account somewhere.
lemmy.world is more open and performant than lemmy.ml and Beehaw.
SDF has been around since the 1980’s. It is one of the most historically trustworthy institutions on the Internet.
I’ve been an SDF member since 2001.
So it just made sense to use my community’s instance of Lemmy, since I also use their Pixelfed and Mastodon.
lemmy.ml says they are overloaded, I then found beehaw but they requires signup application so I say fuck it and choose lemmy.world instead.
lemm.ee said it was newcomer-friendly and I was a newcomer so bingo bango there I went. I suppose I can always join a different instance if I need to but I’m still just getting a grip on this place so I’m good for now.
