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.

    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.

        I like microblogging platforms; they allow me to get information faster (albeit less information) than these types of posts.

    I chose lemmy.world solely on the fact it had a lot of members. Lemmy.ml was a contender too. I just wanted to jump in and check things out. Knowing (slightly)more now, I don’t think it was a bad choice.

    Joined sh.itjust.works since it’s located in North America, has open registration, and the admin sounds like he knows what he’s doing running a server. I’ve stayed 'cause it’s been stable and I like the admin’s vibe. It and lemmy.world seem to have become the main large “general purpose” instances since they both have open registration.

    I also have an account on kbin that I’m not using much at the moment. I think that site has lots of future potential, though.

    Lemmy.world: because it was the top result on Google and I neither knew about the other servers nor remembered my experiences with Mastodon.

    Probably going to stay here anyway.

    Mostly out of laziness

    This was linked on some post about alternatives to that other site I want to stop using. And honestly I’m quite confused on the “it doesn’t matter/it does matter” so I’m just rolling with it and not trying to worry about it.

    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 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.

    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.

    I tend to hang in indie game development subreddits and didn’t want to have to deal with confrontational trolls on a regular basis, so programming.dev felt like a relatively safe choice since it’s neither a super large server or a general-purpose one. I just wanna make lil’ games and have little patience for those lacking in empathy and maturity.
