    when I started here there were not many people and only some instances were big enough to interact. Have you been to .ml? only crazy ppl. So I came to world and prayed for the best

    Well the german feddit.de stopped working where I initially was after the reddit exodus thing. Feddit.org became the best successor. They have a sensible block list and a lot of german and european communities so I like it here. And I think the mod team is doing a pretty good job

    I was looking over instances sorted by uptime, saw one that had high uptime, a lot of users, and a literal promise that shit will just work in its name. I did a bit of scoping to see that it was easy to view communities across all instances from SJW and figured, fuck it, seems like as good a choice as any.

      Amazing choice, it’s what we’ve ended up doing with break3.social and social.fedicate.org our Sharkey instances but running more instances is the goal with Lemmy or Piefed in the future.

      Glad to see others host there own instance

    I picked one at random. Then I quickly realised .ml is nuts so I picked a different random one. How do I feel about about my instance? No strong feelings one way or the other. It’s ok I guess

    I just picked the biggest one this time. I’ve had 3 others shut down on me since I’ve been using Lemmy.

    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 know, I actually love reading this. People complain a lot about how complicated the fediverse/lemmy/whatever is and they cannot even sign up, yada yada. And yet here you are, not giving a damn about it all and still you manages to make an account and you are here. Kudos to you!

      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)

          That sounds odd if that is an option. My doesn’t show instances if it’s the same as mine. However, since this is all federated, you can have the same username as someone else from another instance. If it doesn’t show instances then that could be confusing at best, if not used maliciously.

    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

        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.
