I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

    Lots of rude and hateful comments over here generating a ton of reports. Next time I’m issuing perma-bans for this kind of nonsense. Be respectful.

    To be honest since you can design everything by joining communities you like. I feel like it doesn’t matter

      I would like to know which ones are tailored to my interests, so i dont wanna join something like .ml. I remember there used to be a sheet somewhere with endorsements but i cant find it anymore

    Sh.itjust.works is fine if you want to join a mid-sized instance.

    I personally find DB0 to be a bit suspect (they tolerate and sometimes enable tankies).

    I’m in a similar boat, though I’ve been present for some time.

    Dbzer0 seems like the best “fit” for me, but practically I just want the instance that’s not defederated/blocking other instances.

    …Not sure which that is. But I’d look at Piefed before Lemmy, since they work together, but Piefed seems more desirable feature-wise.

    It says there are 200 comments but I can see 2. So my 2 cents, jump onto the easiest instance you can. For me, that was .world. Get on the boat, then reassess when you have more time.

    The first jump, reddit to Lemmy, is the hardest. The second is super easy in comparison.

      That was my first instance before i decided to change. Ngl i prob shoulda stuck with world coz i do be a general purpose fam. Thats why i started piefed with the main instance

      This happens if other users have blocked you or your instance.
