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

I used Lemmy for a while but now I am planning to exclusively use kbin. It appears to be a way more mature project and is infinitely better UI/UX wise than Lemmy. Moreover it's a project maintained by a fellow Polander and not a bunch of tankies.

I've been using Kbin and Lemmy so far and I like both, but Kbin seems much more stable right now. I like kbin interface a bit more and the ranking algo seems to work better (there an issue on lemmy with hot and posts being added that should not be there). Kbin also let's me sort by 3hr/6hr/12hr in addition to normal sorting options.

I initially used reddthat.com because I've already tried 5 different instances and the sign up doesnt work. Then I remembered about the piracy community, so i switched over to lemmy.dbzer0.com, a pirate heaven. Feels like home. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

I'm using https://lemmy.dbzer0.com because I can't start an account in lemmy.ml

I'm on lemmy.ca because I'm Canadian.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I ended up with kbin.social since I liked the interface, liked the roadmap and existing integration with Mastodon, and because that instance was the one everyone was suggesting for KBin at the time. I'll most likely spin up my own instance for myself and maybe a small group of others to join.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

lemm.ee said it was newcomer-friendly and I was a newcomer so bingo bango there I went. I suppose I can always join a different instance if I need to but I'm still just getting a grip on this place so I'm good for now.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Kbin has my favorite interface from the federated sites I've seen, and the developer seems like a decent dude.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I was curious when I heard about Kbin. I like it so far

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Randomly came across mine. Was gunna join a larger instance just for testing, but it was right as the big Reddit rush was happening and my signups kept failing.

So I went with this one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I chose infosec.pub because I think it has a good chance at longevity and will be managed well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I made an account at kbin.social and just went with it. It's all gonna be federated anyway (unless it gets defederated) and each day actually feels like it's improving.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I chose what was a smaller instance to try to spread things out

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I chose lemmy.world after lemmy.ml closed their registration. Just glad I made my account somewhere.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was looking for a furry one, and pawb.social seemed to be well-run (since it was related to a couple of decently-sized Mastodon servers) and was generic enough (and not NSFW focused). There also seemed to be a decent number of technical people there as well (in fact, one of the Mastodon instances is furry.engineer), so it matched up with my other interests as well. I considered lemmyrs.org, but ended up not choosing it.

lemmy.ml was broken and lemmy.world was the first one I saw besides that one. that's about it

edit: did a bit of scrolling, sounds like kbin might be a better fit, what do y'all feel is better?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Vlemmy.net as it currently hasn't defederated from anyone or been defederated.
