What's a good instance to be on at the moment?

  Depends; Closest thing to lemm.ee? Maybe lemmy.zip?

  Here’s my own choices:

  • lemmy.dbzer0.com (totally unbiased 😏)
  • lemmy.zip
  • quokk.au (not lemmy, piefed)
  • sopuli.xyz

  Dbzer0 and zip are probably the closest thing to lemm.ee in terms of defederation.

    Can lemmy use a different subdomain for authentication?

    Unless it does, lemmy.zip is behind cloudflare and all of the passwords are going through a different entity, whether users like it or not.

    I would rather not.

    Problem isn’t so much defederation policy in and of itself, as much as it is just the general level-headedness of the admins

    Lemm.ee’s lead admin had exactly the type of philosophy towards managing this platform that I want to see in wherever I go next.

    source

    • db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Unfortunately that philosophy led them to close down their instance due to burnout, so maybe it’s not exactly a winning one 😅

      Seeing the instance as infrastructure is what I want to see more of

      Yes, exactly! A good manager to me is the one that is just focused on solving the problems that are on the way of the rest of the team.

      Fingers crossed, but we also know Lemmy might not be ready for that type of philosophy. I mean I still don't know what exactly happened, but lemm.ee wasn't successful in the end. And the underlying issues are still there. So the next admin team might face the same dynamics.

    Any website or service that utilizes the .zip TLD 🤮🤮

    I’m sure there are great websites and services that utilize it, but I have a strong opinion that the TLD should have never been put out there for people to use. I block all .zip TLD domains with no exceptions; and so unfortunately, I cannot use lemmy.zip.

    To be fair, I have no real opinions about lemm.ee. It was one of the instances that had the most users when I joined Lemmy, and as far as I’m aware it hasn’t received any real negative press.

    I’m more bothered about seeing or being associated with spam and/or an instance full of toxic people. I’m not a spicy person - or so I’d like to think.

      Zip’s a very trustworthy instance, all admins know about it; so i doubt anything wrong will happen in that regard 😉

    • tisktisk@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      is the TLD just aesthetically unpleasing or are there technical issues with zip archive files?
      Curious to know how one can judge one TLD over others just b/c I've never really thought ab it until now

    • fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      • Great admins. I’ve talked to demigodrick and he’s a good fellow
      • Monthly transparent reports about the instance
      • Image proxying
      • Relaxed defederation policy

      Only negative thing i can name is that it blocks the UK, because of a law they don’t want to risk

    Db0 isn’t like lemm.ee they defederated more readily and instance ban people for not having a left bias.

    I’ve not heard of Sopuli or .cafe before. Do they cater for a niche audience or something?

      Sopuli is Finnish, some Euro community are on there, although there are many generic communities as well.

  I don’t see a lot of the things you’re trying to avoid on my instance. But I almost always browse “subscribed” and mostly have no idea what’s going on in communities I’m not subscribed to.

  source
• Ledericas@lemm.ee ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  with the LEMMY.EE coming to an end there definitely will be multiple accts to diff instances just in case one gets offed again,

• grillgamesh@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  try lemmy.dbzer0.com. (totally unbiased)

  we have pirates, memes, and shitposts galore (ahoy, matey!)

  source
• Nusm@yall.theatl.social ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  My recommendation would be to find a local instance - one that’s closest to you - and sign up for that. I’m not in Atlanta, but I am in Georgia, so I signed up for the yall.theatl.social instance (the server is in Atlanta), and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a smaller instance, but I converse regularly with the admins when I have a question or a problem, and they are accessible and always open to suggestions.

  I like it so much that I also use the theatl.social Mastodon instance as my main Mastodon as well. I throw them a few bucks every month to help with costs, and I’m happy to do it.

  I would agree with those who say smaller instances are the way to go.

  source

  • darksiderbun@lemmy.ca ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah. Smaller instances for sure. I’m in Canada so I went with lemmy.ca and I’ve never had any issues and everything is just peachy 😌

    source
• scytale@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  .zip has the closest instance policies to .ee. A lot of .ee refugees moved there (included). Some also moved to piefed if you’re considering that.

    We’ve opened a piefed instance too - early days yet though: piefed.zip

  • verdigris@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yeah I’ve been very happy here. Despite a reputation as a “tankie instance” I find that we mostly just don’t put up with fascists which is sick imo.

      Bubble-dwelling can indeed be a kind of sickness.

  looking for a instance with the fewest trolls, bots, and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes.

  All the instances are good in their own way, but at least one will irritate you very much, and it’s always different. There are ways each one can make you go “why???”

  There are commenters who will call one or more instances bad things. That may or may not be accurate for you.

  Each large instance has one or more crazy mods, most have decent mods. Each instance will have multiple examples about why it’s good or horrible.

  source

  • lemmyingly@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    There are some instances far worst than others other. I think hex bear has been defederated by many for example.

    And I agree with the crazies; I think it’s true for any group that’s large enough, regardless of platform or real world communities.

    This is a non-answer.

    What matters most is the type of people in charge of the instance, why the decide to do certain things, and the types of decisions they’re likely to make in the future.

    Not all instances are the same in that regard.

    source

    • limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      It is rather both sides, isn’t it?

      But, after poking around lemmy, I have decided there is value in all instances. There will be communities nestled in between the stuff I do not like. I like and dislike much on lemmy

  You dont need to limit yourself to just one, feel free to diversify your presence.

  But for a real answer: The smaller ones; The smaller the more respecfull i feel.

  Though more users does demonstrate capabilities. Not every server is fast or stable.

  source
• CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  I’ve been pretty happy with how the instance I use has been run thus far, but it is focused around furries, so it won’t be something most people outside that subculture like I expect. Still, the fandom is big enough that someone in it looking for an instance might look at this thread, so I mention it anyway.

  source
• FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Since you mention you have no real opinions about lemm.ee. You were just on there by chance.

  I’ll propose you the style of blahaj which is to have downvotes disabled, its quite a different way to interact with lemmy, maybe a bit weird to get used to. But it feels much less hostile. And it fosters a good culture of just ignoring shitty takes and replies.
