Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?

I have to say the responses in this thread are a bummer, but I’m not surprised. I signed up on lemmy.ml because when I read the descriptions of the various instances, ML’s “A community of privacy and FOSS enthusiasts” sounded pretty great and I saw a lot of technical communities that interested me. I didn’t expect the politics. I tried to make a new user on .world a few months back, but I seemed to get stuck in some sort of user verification limbo. Maybe I’ll try midwest.social since I moved to the midwest recently.

DBZero is a great option if you like something slightly edgy

Dbzero and programming.dev are already also high on my list, but thanks for the recommendation. I’m not in a super hurry to move or anything, I’ve never been given a hard time on ML, but I hate to think I’m slowly being edged out of the wider lemmy experience.

If your home instance is lemmy.ml and it’s just people using communities on instances other than lemmy.ml, then you still get the full experience.
If instances are defederating with lemmy.ml, then you’re missing content.

there’s a website out there showing exactly this,but for the life of me I can’t rememeber the URL >_<

It’s absolutely the defederating that worries me more than the blocking. I have seen talk about nontrivial lemmy instances mulling defederation enough to keep an eye on it though.

.ca is good as well, the admin is top tier and very transparent with the userbase. I’m quite happy with my instance.
