Went with Lemmy.world during the blackout because it seemed to have the most activity.

I have a few now just to test it out. I want to use feddit.nl as my standard server, but I just haven't fully figured out how this all works.
Like for example I'm on lemmy.world and subscribe to something, that channel/sub doesn't seem to appear on feddit.nl. there can be a channel with the same name but it isn't the one I subscribed to.
do things from your home instance, so once you find a community on another instance you want on your home instance, go to your home instance and search [email protected] eg [email protected] and itl will pull in a few posts to start off, if you subscribe to that remote community hen your home instance will keep on getting posts.
I want to be in control over my own data. So I spun up my own instance
The domain name. And the community seemed friendly enough. Now with the Reddit exodus, I'm glad I migrated to a smaller instance.
like most of the others here, I went because of the $5 signup bonus.
I frequently see Stux on mastodon, and I think they're a good person so I decided to choose one of their instances when choosing a Lemmy server.
A friend owns it and it has a funny domain. Bonus of it being smaller is that it didn't have any performance issues yesterday/today.
I saw a local instance for new Zealanders and joined.
I picked Lemmy.world because I wanted a fairly large one that will likely maintain support.
I'm hosting my own. I had a free server with 9GB RAM and 99GB disk space, and it was only running my Mastodon server until now. I like the freedom to do what I want with the server :)
Initially made an account with the instance opened after my country's subreddit made the shift, but on Jerboa trying to look at other instance content was really rough.
So I joined here since I enjoy the content, and raise the black flag every so often.
Others did not exist back than.
lemmy.ml because when I joined I had no idea of how the fediverse worked. I'd change it to a smaller one but it really doesn't matter much I don't think.
I was on dataterm.digital, I loved that server, but they went down one day and just never came back up. Sometimes I can still hear it SYN ACK
Mod of a subreddit I was following created an instance, its was the easiest choice
I added an account to a few geared towards specific community types. Then I can easily switch accounts and view local.
I'm considering standing up an instance for this type of thing myself.
I saw a youtube video that said lemmy.ml was full so you can't join. I just picked a random one that wasn't ml so I chose lemmy.world

I picked Rammy for the name and the sidebar:
Just another Lemmy instance. We've got a cool mascott though! Open to everyone.
Why trust some Big Tech corporation to host your data when some random geek can do it? All thanks to the power of the Fediverse!
