- One for business and one for pleasure (lemmynsfw.com)
This is the way
I opened an account in lemmy.world first, simply because I didn’t know better. Then I realized that it’ll be a good idea to stay on a smaller instance. Been with lemmy.sdf.org since and I’m pretty happy with it.
What are the advantages of being on a smaller instance?
Less people, lower chance of defederation. Also, faster servers, and I love SDF as an organization even beyond the fediverse.
I moved from lemmy.world to lemmy.ca. It just loads faster.
Ditto, but replace lemmy.sdf.org with vlemmy.
Two. I started on lemmy.ml, but then I spun up my own instance for me and a couple friends who mentioned wanting to check out lemmy.
- Started on lemmy.ml when I didn’t know anything about lemmy. Switched to lemmy.world after getting annoyed with the tankie shit. Then switched to Midwest.social because lemmy.world was way over inundated and barely functioning.
Juat one, VLemmy.
I signed up about two weeks ago I think? And I picked one that seemed large enough and permissive enough to be stable but not the biggest because I knew that one was going to get flooded with new users and suffer once the rest of reddit decided to jump ship.
So far, seems to have been the right choice.
Well, I just joined today, so only one. But since you can subscribe and post to communities on any other instance, I’m not sure why I would need to sign up on another unless I wanted to change. That’s what makes the fediverse amazing.
Two: First on world, but it was pretty laggy so I changed to lemm.ee. The entire experience is better.
Exactly the same!
I still admire and am super thankful to @ruud for all the time, effort and money he and his friends are pouring into trying to optimize world.
Exactly the same here!
Joined lemmy.world on June 12th, around July 3rd when it got overloaded I joined vlemmy.net, been happy ever since. So 2 instances. I still sometimes check lemmy.world to see if my posts/comments are posting because vlemmy is facing federation issues due to the reddit HoD.
More than 10. I’m still waiting the confirmations from some of the instances.
I read some weeks ago that lemmy instances are like email providers. So I’ve taken to hear the advice that I should try different instances before settle into one. It has also been part of my lemmy leaning process. I won’t recommend it, though.
I’m pretty sure I registered on Beehaw a few months back, but can’t seem to login there with my usual credentials. Maybe I just visited the site without registering. I’m happy with just lemmy.world for now though.
Same thing happened to me, the log in icon just kept spinning.
Only one - on lemm.ee. Have been working great so far :)
I only recently joined after hearing about lemmy. So far, I’ve been happy with sopuli.xyz alone.
All of them
Two. One for lemmy.world but then due to the issues, moved to lemm.ee which is my current main.
