Comparison of different Lemmy Instances
What instances are people here using? I recently decided to give Lemmy a try. From what I had been seeing I was planning to sign up to BeeHaw, only to find that they had defederated two of the largest instances due to their lax sign-up policies. I can understand their reasoning and it looks like it was relatively well handled, but it still makes that instance impractical. I ended up going to VLemmy as it was one of the recommended ones, seems fairly general purpose and doesn't seem to have much "baggage" (political or otherwise).They say the instance you choose doesn't matter that much, but if even large instances are going to start defederating then there is a kind of Keynesian beauty contest to choosing the right instance - you might not care what an instance looks like if you're just using it as a gateway to the fediverse, but you need to choose an instance that doesn't repulse the other instances too much.
