  Indeed, I see people saying “we should just randomly assign an instance from the top 10”, when hexbear (RIP) was in the top 5

  Also top 10 ( lemmy.fediverse.observer/list )

  1. LW
  2. lemm.ee
  3. lemmynsfw.com - not suitable
  4. sh.itjust.work - shit in the name, not appealing to the average user
  5. lemmy.ml - power tripping feddit.uk/post/12952230
  6. lemmy.dbzer0.com - requires to follow and agree the Anarchist code of Conduct - not appealing to the average user
  7. lemmy.ca - Canada-oriented, non-Canadian users might not want to join as they wouldn’t think they would belong
  8. feddit.org - German-focused, feddit.org/c/main content is in German
  9. lemmy.blahaj.zone - queer-focused
  10. programming.dev - programmers-focused

  I made a more complete analysis in this post lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37336391 (pinned on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com ), nowadays I basically go with:

  " Lemmy has 47k monthly active users

  • discuss.online if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
  • sopuli.xyz if you want a server located in the EU
  • vger.app/settings/install if you want an app

  Feel free if you have any questions"

  Because yes, the USA/EU question appeared during the Luigi announcement in LW.

      What happened to hexbear? I mean, I blocked the whole instance so I didn’t have to read their crap any more, but did it disappear?
