@eblu@wetdry.worldshopping for #lemmy / #kbin / #threadiverse instances—anyone have any recommendations?
@eblu I’m biased on my own but it depends on your interests. Do you want a general focused instance, more lgbt focused or one that’s niche hobbyist focused? And do you want a big instance or a smaller local community instance. I have a bunch of recs depending on what you criteria you have :P
@eblu@gavi mainly just trying to find a good general one for now. I'm sort of leaning towards lemmy.world but I'm not sure if that side of fedi follows the "everyone limits the hell out of the big servers" thing
@eblu@gavi smaller instances would be cool but I'm not sure how they'd federate
@eblu thankfully lemmy is a bit better when it comes to federation on smaller instances since things are completely condensed into groups rather than having to find entire groups of people.
lemmy.world admins are chill, but id def suggest a smaller instance as the noise there can be overwhelming. and when limiting options come, they will be used heavily.
a good smaller general purpose instance is lemm.ee thats still pretty widely federated. i can vouch for the admin there.
@eblu theres also discuss.online which is nice and smaller as well. mines more focused on local communities that are reading and writing if thats more your style, but it isnt for everyone and you can browse it on pretty much any other instance
theres also some good tools to find new communities specifically lemmyverse.net and the community !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl which has a bot that posts daily communities
lemmy is still in development but it has a lot of good stuff going for it rn
is now on Sharkey @Aelar64@pnw.zone@eblu I've been on kbin.social for a while now, and it seems to have gotten a lot more stable since July. There's also fedia.io, which is run by the infosec.exchange people and has been around for a while as well.
@eblu I've been on kbin.social (the main kbin instance) for a while and it's been working well. I prefer the kbin UI over lemmy and I think that's really the only reason to pick one over the other at this point.
