Thank you for the welcome. I chose lemmy.zip because the policy regarding defederation pleased me and the monthly update on the status of the server was great info.

I hope this instance last a bit longer than my two previous ones (vlemmy.net which disappeared overnight, then lemm.ee).

One small detail about your sidebar, you have alternative UI, that’s a great plus. I would just name the software project running it next to the URL and Photon (m.lemmy.zip) is described as a mobile centric UI but it works great also on desktop (personally it’s my UI of choice on desktop).
