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?

I joined sh.itjust.works because I like the domain. It makes me smile 🙂

I read the thread where that domain was born, lol. It was pretty funny.

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 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 got an account on beehaw, but quickly left. I understood what they’re trying to do, it’s just poorly executed.
