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 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.
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.
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.
Nice username :)
You all need some longer usernames, sheesh.
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 actually made my home in the one hosting a previous reddit community I was fond of, just choose one u like.
I joined @lemmy.world because the admin @ruud@lemmy.world had a lot of experience running a large Mastodon instance, and @lemmy.ml was asking folks to go elsewhere.
Same. Finding an instance with the best community or matching interests felt silly when everything is changing quickly and discovery is still underbaked. I went with Lemmy.world because they seemed like the most capable admins.
