    Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.

    And we have a handful of large communities.

      I like how their admins still show up as Admins even when commenting on a post on another instance. At least in voyager they do.

      Honestly probably a bug, but it’s cool.

    Pull up a list of Lemmy instances with 100% uptime. That’s not a big list. Look for a location in the U.S. you find an even smaller list. And if your monolingual and speak English bestest… well, then you’re in the realm of a vary small list indeed.

    lemmy.ninja is second on that list for size AND speed of growth. Plus, where else are you going to find communities that teach you how to use the Fediverse to your advantage? Drop by and subscribe to the boomer shooter community… We all know they did it right in lo-fi…

      Bragging about speed and uptime is a double edged sword. It will make you popular, and then you’re going to have the same scaling and DDOS attack issues as the other big communities.

      I’m looking for US based to avoid them. Why on earth would I want to be on an instance that’s exposed to their government requests?

    Definitely sh.itjust.works. The largest instance that defederates with the fewest other instances (though they could still do better here - there’s no reason to defederate either exploding-heads or lemmygrad), no email required on sign up, and a super chill vibe.

      I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.

      I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

      I know both have very subjective ways to measure the metrics, but still, there must be some sort of answer.

        Almost definitely beehaw

        I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

        Probably exploding-heads. If not, then lemmygrad.

    That’s easy: Lemmy.ninja! Small, nimble, active, and awesome!

    Edit: It occurs to me I should probably list some more reasons why Lemmy.ninja is so awesome:

    • 100.00% uptime!
    • Certified spambot-free
    • We work every day to help new users learn the ropes of Lemmy and find content on your instances to subscribe to
    • We have strict but fair rules
    • We’re never satisfied with the site and always work to improve it
