Comment on Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google
kautau@lemmy.world 1 month agoYeah, there are many instances, and many that have purposefully been defederated by lemmy.world. Often for good reason (CSAM, an abundance of spam accounts, violent or hatful rhetoric, etc). But generally lemmy.world and its federated instances are pretty great.

Ok, sounds like I’ll just stick with .world for a while until I get my “sea legs”

I think this this guy is going to end up on dbzer0 once he gets his sea legs.

As an option, I’d recommend lemmy.today
It’s an instance that stays away from all the drama and just federates with everyone unless this becomes a moderation problem.
Wanna look at general stuff on lemmy.world? Sure Check tankies on lemmy.ml/lemmygrad/hexbear? Alright Wanna porn? lemmynsfw got you covered! And literally anything else on the Lemmyverse is open to you.

If you ever decide you want to branch out, you can try the instance / community browser at lemmyverse.net to check out whats out there.
I will say that although it technically doesnt matter what instance you sign up with, sometimes the descriptions aren’t very descriptive at all. Definitely give an instance a browse, to get a feel for the overall vibe, before you sign up.
You can check to see if an instance has been defederated from / by other instances, by entering said instance address at defed.xyz

It’s just so hard keeping up with this hell that we’re living in lately. Like, I’m just trying to keep my job and pay my bills. I have a good job, but I am constantly concerned that I won’t have it at any point in time. The constant stress isnt doing me any favors. I’m lucky that I’ve been frugal and saved a lot, but I don’t consider that enough to settle my fears.

Nah, it’s good. No pressure. These are just resources that I kinda had to stumble across, although im sure theyre in some super accessible place and im just a ding dong. Figured if they could help another person, then so be it.
It’s hard times right now, you do what you gotta do to keep on keeping on. Lemmy.world is a completely fine choice. They’re a large, mainstream place to get comfortable in. But, if you get bored one day and want to check out what else is out there, you’ve got something to get you started.
I wish you luck, some free time, and some peace of mind.
