Asklemmy

Mod of a subreddit I was following created an instance, its was the easiest choice

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

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

lemmy.world because it was top recommended. In the future I might change to either host my own or use my wife's ex-husband's instance.

I picked lemmy.world because it was recommended and had a large userbase. I know Beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjustwor.ks, so if you want to interact with that community, that could be a consideration against, but since the user population across all of Lemmy is currently increasing dramatically, I think everything's a bit of a moving target regardless.

Lemmy.ml was requesting people register on other instances, and lemmy.one stepped up to fill the void.

But when people ask me what instance to sign up for, I tell them lemmy.world. it doesn't really matter, but being based in a bigger instance reduces the friction of finding communities.

Tried the bee but did not get any notification I was accepted. Fortunately saw programming.dev pop on my feed and they accepted my request.

Good thing as well that I found all of my favorite programming languages on the server.

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 added an account to a few geared towards specific community types. Then I can easily switch accounts and view local.

I'm considering standing up an instance for this type of thing myself.

Initially made an account with the instance opened after my country's subreddit made the shift, but on Jerboa trying to look at other instance content was really rough.

So I joined here since I enjoy the content, and raise the black flag every so often.

Lemmy.ca felt like a natural home as an IRL Canadian resident. I like the variety of content and the moderation seems good so far.

It does seem like some servers have specific niches, so if you're really interested in a specific servers niche using that instance would prevent you from having to sync those communities with your instance.

I'm new, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

it was the only one when i joined

It's the first one I found and many others were filled with germans and I said "Nein"

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.

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 picked Lemmy.world because I wanted a fairly large one that will likely maintain support.

The subreddit migrated here during the blackout so I just joined that same instance.
