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 was told it was better for load balancing if we didn’t all use the same one. So I just looked for one that had easy signups and didn’t seem overeager to block stuff. Apparently, some from this instance come form /r/china. I’m not, but I do drink coffee. Anyway, I think it’s working out so far; better than reddit anyway.
@wumpus @minorsecond Good for availability. Good for redundancy. Largely reduces and or eliminates opportunities for profiteering. Makes individuals more like first class citizens in the web. Long live decentralization and federation.
I actually made my home in the one hosting a previous reddit community I was fond of, just choose one u like.

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.
I chose beehaw. I chose wrong. So now I’m on lemmy.world and nothing was lost 😎
I joined mander.xyz because it has a central theme around the natural sciences. It could possibly include STEM content as well; there is an ongoing discussion about it. The admin(s) are present and very responsive.
For anyone with a love of science and/or nature I recommend it highly as a home instance of Lemmy.
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.
same, went for the furry one.
Vlemmy.net as it currently hasn’t defederated from anyone or been defederated.
I’m new here, do you know if lemm.ee has been defederated either way?
The instances page on each instance shows the instances that it is federating with, and there’s a section at the bottom which shows if ilthqt instance is blocking any others.
E.g. https://lemm.ee/instances
I don’t know of any way to see if that instance is being blocked by other instances, except to visit the instances page on every instance individually. Which isnt really practical.
I chose kbin, loved the integration with mastodon
I don’t see the appeal of mastodon but that’s a neat feature.
