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'm still getting used to the concept of federation so... I created my initial account on beehaw because I liked it's ethos about being a safe and welcoming space. Then they defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, which produced a lot of content i was going to be missing out on, so i created an alt on lemmy.world. I then realized this meant I'd have to swap back and forth between accounts to see both instances activity, so i moved to reddthat which is a nice little australian community, and this allows me to participate in beehaw posts, as well as lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works without switching accounts
