I've been on .world since it was smaller but I'm debating on a new instance 🤔

There are few I can recommend.

reddthat.com - reddthat is a play on the name reddit but "that" instead of "it", sound cool, aint it? 😆

lemmy.fmhy.ml - Pirate Friendly - NSFW friendly

lemmy.dbzer0.com - Pirate Friendly - SFW only - run by former top mod of r/piracy - the instance I'm currently using

I can recommend https://thelemmy.club - purely out of self interest of course since I run it.

I like how your "self interest" is providing a free platform to strangers. More of that kind of self interest in the world please.

If we are doing play on instance names. Then I would like one named lemmy.know. As in "let me know"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I saw there was a Lemmy.be

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's not a valid top level domain (TLD). Only specific letter combinations are valid. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains (technically you can apply to create a new TLD, but there's a lot of rules and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars).

The closest existing TLD I can think of is Norway's .no (lemmy.no).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that would be cool.

Serious question… with ‘reddthat’ or ‘feddit’ and other similar plays on words… if this absolutely takes off (and I hope it does), can Spez not sue?

Wait, we're sfw only? But I checked the "show nsfw" button... and we're federated with lemmynsfw.com?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

SFW only for any community on dbzer0, but you can post and view nsfw when visiting other instances. We're a pirate instance so I assume the admin don't want to attract more attention by including potentially illegal porn. Idk why lemmy.fmhy.ml allows it tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, so that sfw-only status is largely irrelevant to me since I mostly browse communities outside of dbzer0, except of course for c/piracy

I just switched from lemmy.world to sh.itjust.works after a day and it is completely different experience since it actually loads stuff fast

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I agree, real fast instance

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's being.... temperamental.
