What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?
Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?

It would be weird to host an instance without using it…
Cuz shit just works
Always amazing when things do that
maintainer is from my country, rules are good and reasonable, nice local content, no local drama
I made accounts on a few instances, but I stuck with this one (and eventually joined the team) for the same reasons
That’s a good combo, especially local content. Do you ever find the local content gets lost?
i dont know, i dont pay that much attention to stuff like that so i’m not 100% sure about the drama part either, but i dont recall ever being annoyed by such things which is good enough for me. Its not extremely huge instance, around 5k users and 200 posts/ day. I think that helps too. Oh, i forgot to mention that I like admins here too, they are nice people.
I didn’t give a shit
My account on the old nsfw stopped working because apparently someone shit the bed or stopped doing something or whatever
It’s not something that I care about, so I just did whatever
I have no idea what instance I’m on
I don’t even know what instances are, or what difference it makes

You are on lemmy.world
You can see the instance others are on by the @ after their name. If they don’t have one, they are local to you.
I think that it depends on how you access lemmy. Iirc, voyager and some others allow you to toggle user instances (at least for comments)
Yeah, also when you click on an account you see the full name and when commenting.

Ooh, I might switch.

I heard people I respect talk about it in ways I enjoyed :)
The public feed, rules, etc. also looked like a good match for me. And I’m absolutely grateful to be able to post from here!
Very small blocked list and doesn’t block NSFW. Users should make their own choices. Also awesome stats every month.
This is probably the first sharkey post I see on lemmy. It looks really good, nice.

NSFW is a very generic tag. I usually browse subscribed so porn popping up is not a problem. I still want to see NSFW-tagged footage from conflicts or the occasional mild NSFW art. Photos are blurred by default so it’s not like someone will see it by accident.
After reaching out and proving I was human, the admins agreed to activate my account manually so I didn’t have to enter a valid email address.
That’s such a out of the way thing the admins done for you. It seems like sh.itjust.works is a fairly decent place for Lemmy users to go from what I’ve seen so far.
Well, it was simple, as my previous user, neidu2, had a long history of posts/comments, most of which I believe aren’t that trashy. Or maybe the perfect level of trashy for SJW, idk.
So what made you pick the same instance and username (+1)? Would it not have been okay to stay on the same account?
I instance hopped for a while, just to test things out, really. Feddit.nl is alright, except people kept assuming I was dutch (although, I’ve been called worse things)
HALT! Surprise mandatory sock inspection!
Best I can do at the moment
Still wearing my caterpillarsThis will suffice. Carry on! :)
Its a decently sized Piefed Server that allows me to talk about Politics.
I used to use Piefed dot World and before that Lemmy Word but they explicitly and openly support the misogynist, transphobic, pro-war, pro-genocide tankie Lemmy Developers, so I don’t go there anymore.
EDIT: The hecks this little fedicate bubble?
Wait, are you talking about .ml? I wasn’t aware of .world being really bad.
World is not as bad, but they financially support developers like Desalines who OWN AND OPERATE ML.
Oh fuckin shit. That’s why I just joined PieFed here. I’ll be sure to block .world too
Same here. lemm.ee refugee, wanted something similar in regards to federation policy and admin vibe.
In comparison, lemmy.today is a bit slower, but I’ll take slow and extant over extinct any day.
I am a programmer.
Its name.
Kbin was my first, shit was fucky with it for a bit so I changed. No complaints about world (Yet anyhow)
Kbin had it’s upsides but yeah glad Mbin is here to carry on it’s legacy in some sort of way. Just sucks it doesn’t connect with Mastodon and Lemmy apps as it’ll solve some of the issues.
lemmy.world seems to be a good default at the moment.
Dring the Reddit Migration, this was the first one I heard about, so I picked it. Haven’t been bothered to change it since.
Do you feel you will change in the future?
I know there’s been an okay amount of people that have said about how they moved from Lemmy World due to moderation over reach along with often being de-federated from other instances on bias’ (I have no evidence of this, just comments from others to this post)
Probably not, unless something major happens.
