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.
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 :)
You all need some longer usernames, sheesh.
Gotta get those good names quick
I’m self-hosting my own Lemmy server, which I guess is cheating since I can get any name I want to 😛

Was looking for a furry one, and pawb.social seemed to be well-run (since it was related to a couple of decently-sized Mastodon servers) and was generic enough (and not NSFW focused). There also seemed to be a decent number of technical people there as well (in fact, one of the Mastodon instances is furry.engineer), so it matched up with my other interests as well. I considered lemmyrs.org, but ended up not choosing it.
same, went for the furry one.
lemmy.world seemed reputable with a straightforward domain name, and no out-of-the-ordinary policies.
I chose beehaw. I chose wrong. So now I’m on lemmy.world and nothing was lost 😎
Joined sh.itjust.works since it’s located in North America, has open registration, and the admin sounds like he knows what he’s doing running a server. I’ve stayed 'cause it’s been stable and I like the admin’s vibe. It and lemmy.world seem to have become the main large “general purpose” instances since they both have open registration.
I also have an account on kbin that I’m not using much at the moment. I think that site has lots of future potential, though.
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 joined mander.xyz because it has a central theme around the natural sciences. It could possibly include STEM content as well; there is an ongoing discussion about it. The admin(s) are present and very responsive.
For anyone with a love of science and/or nature I recommend it highly as a home instance of Lemmy.
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.
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
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.
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.
Not gonna lie. I’ve got multiple accounts across platforms. But yours seems to be responding quickly and the content is solid, so… here I am.
Yeah, I was a bit confused at the start and in my haste created a few different accounts across kbin, lemmy.world, and Mastodon. Worst case scenario I have backups and I’ll just end up using the instance I prefer the most, the most.
