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?

    lemmy.ml says they are overloaded, I then found beehaw but they requires signup application so I say fuck it and choose lemmy.world instead.

    I prefer kbin’s UI to the other federated servers I’ve tried. Beehaw is probably #2 for me, and it seems like a really nice community. Mastodon.social is also cool but it’s a lot more twitter-like which I have a hard time getting used to.

    I chose Kbin because at the time I went searching it was the only option that was working/responsive haha.

    I actually made my home in the one hosting a previous reddit community I was fond of, just choose one u like.

      I like the domain and it wasn’t overloaded like most of the Lemmy.xx ones. I was torn between this and beehaw, glad i went with sh.itjust.works

        Me too. I actually put in an application for an account on Beehaw on day 1 just because they seemed to be the most active (before I understood how any of this works.) Never got a reply - I think we both dodged a bullet 🤣

        I kind of wish they chose “fedd.itjust.works” which was the other suggestion in that thread. “sh.itjust.works” is funny but looks like it’s a shitposting instance.

    I joined lemmy.ml because the join-lemmy site gave me extremely little to go on. It was a coin toss between this and beehaw.org once I realized how few instances were established and not right-wing.

    That was only 2 weeks ago and already I’ve seen the site force 2 server upgrades, even as the admins have strongly encouraged new users to join elsewhere to prevent centralization.

    The instance list desperately needs a few columns added, including whether new signups are encouraged or discouraged.

    Not gonna lie. I’ve got multiple accounts across platforms. But yours seems to be responding quickly and the content is solid, so… here I am.

      Yeah, I was a bit confused at the start and in my haste created a few different accounts across kbin, lemmy.world, and Mastodon. Worst case scenario I have backups and I’ll just end up using the instance I prefer the most, the most.

    I landed at vlemmy.net. I tried to register at a few bigger ones that gave infinite circles. By the time I got to vlemmy I wasn’t really being too picky anymore, I was just trying to figure out if the problem was me or overloading.

    A nice side effect of landing there is that some of my very few subscriptions are on beehaw, and we haven’t been defederated.
