ngl I may prefer lemm.ee, just saying
Loyalty to dbzer0
It’s not a cult, I swear! :D
db0 , i really like your server tbh but my monyet.cc is serving me currently well the fact that you have a photon , tensorrect etc as alternate frontends is kinda cool as well :p thanks man , we as a community appreciate your instance and its c/piracy -fellow pirate
That’s what I like to hear!
Shhh, don’t tell
Hehe yep
Edit: and i just realised i posted this from my other account and not my dbzer0 account lol. But point still stands
TRAITOR
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.
Beehaw is such a nice place to visit, but I’m too much of an asshole to live there.
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.
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.
I’m enjoying Beehaw. I really haven’t looked around at other instances that much, but it’s pretty chill here.
I prefer sopuli.xyz
Was waiting for an instance admin lol
He’s right. No bias, I swear.
deleted by creator
They’re defederated from mine too. Really odd.
I dunno why but everytime I see that, I misread it as SoPopular ;)
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.
I see you!
Hello! I can see you!
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
Lemm.ee. I like the defederation policy, and in my experience the community and its admins have always been very responsive.
lemm.ee fans RISE UP!!!
Lemmy.world for me.
It’s generic, has a good list of communities, and the mods are legends with updates and transparency.
I personally prefer using Lemm.ee, mostly because it’s the instance I started off with, but the problem with that instance is that it’s dry lol
lemmy.ohaa.xyz, cause its mine :D
now THATS the spirit!
Is it weird to not have a favorite?
no
slrpnk.net :D
SLRPNK best instance
Lemm.ee seems pretty okay.
I don’t care much about instances though, I just use Lemmy like it’s Reddit and scroll through the home page and my subscriptions
As an American I prefer lemmy.ca
“I prefer the one I’m posting from.” - every single response
yep
I like mine because it is mine :)
Do you just host it for yourself and no other users are on it?
Me and a few friends
mander.xyz is my favorite. Love and subscribed to the most of the communities it have.
Omg yes they are really bringing the best science communities.
For some weird reason, I can’t access that instance from work. Probably DNS related.
A lot of “weird” TLDs are just automatically blocked for security.
Like, realistically what site would your business/work utilize utilitytoolsales(.)xyz? Chances seem higher that would be a bogus site to harvest information.
Unfortunately fun social networks get affected lol
Yeah, I found out only after choosing that domain name… This TLD also gets penalized by the automatic e-mail spam detectors (like SpamAssassin). I wouldn’t pick the “.xyz” TLD if I were picking today 😅
