The only real reason I can think to move is if your current instance is regularly down for extended periods or if a lot of other instances defederate it.

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

I enjoy sh.itjust.works. I'm not convinced the instance makes a big difference, but I feel like this one is fine.
Some other instances that have come to mind:
https://slrpnk.net - Seems like something of a natural fit considering they are also the home of !twoxchromosomes@slrpnk.net which is roughly the same size and number of active users
https://lemmy.world - This is a fairly general community and so it makes some sense to be on a fairly general instance
I'm a user on https://slrpnk.net and thoroughly enjoy my home feed. Climate, nature, solarpunk futurism, memes, soil, activism, creative pursuits, anarchism, different kinds of liberation.
If you do decide to move; I'd be pleased to have you as part of my home instance
Hello,
Thank you for your work with this community.
I'm not that active here, but if I may, I would prefer to not have another active community moving to Lemmy.world.
Slrpnk seems nice, and makes sense to get closer to the other community.
I like the idea of slrpnk, but not lemmy.world.
My lemmy "philosophy" is that generic centralization should be discouraged. I prefer more "category-like" centralization. This is not just to support my preferred usage pattern (browse and participate "local" on multiple instances), but to ensure that lemmy doesn't evolve toward major centralized instances that end up just being just another clone of the various commercial platforms.
Centralization means less diversity in rules, less diversity in enforcement, and higher instance costs. I think the loss of diversity is just a bad idea, because it leaves less room for widespread experimentation. Higher instance costs could be a problem if instance owners find themselves needing to monetize the instance in order to remain solvent. The outcome is a generally less resilient system.
How about blahaj.zone
Hard no, they are extremely sensitive and ban happy
Let's do it just to see what happens.
We would get banned for acknowledging men can have problems
I enjoy a lot of communities on lemmy.world, but I'd recommend against moving a community into it. Centralizing more communities there doesn't feel productive, and I don't think it would help with user numbers.
If you do want to move, slrpnk is cool and I think this community could succeed there. Personally, I think the best solution would be to promote this community around the Fediverse regardless of if you stay on this instance or move to another one. Places like !communityPromo@lemmy.ca and the other ones listed here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032.
Thanks for thinking about these things and for working on the community!
I like having it here, like how it just fits in with the everyday ongoings in the local feed.
