I'm from feddit.nu, the swedish instance. Or at least one of them, there might be more swedish instances I am not aware of. I like it because I can find local content and post in swedish.
I think everyone should aim to find a smaller instance where they feel like they belong to and create their account there.
There's no reason to have a federated system if everyone uses the same 3 large instances.
Came from lemmy.world to unilem.org and am enjoying it so far. They are stating they wont defederate
I think everyone needs to do their own sightseeing to see which instances are around - if there's a one-size-fits-all solution then that's actually a bit of a problem for the fediverse. Figure out who's running it, what their donations/transparency plan is, what their rules are, what their goals are, etc. I'd say at least in these beginning phases, applying a negative bias towards larger servers will benefit the community as well.
Think something is wrong, why do only fmhy users see this and no one else?
i can see it, just suppose it took a while
Oh yah, it just got fixed a bit ago, fmhy admins had to change something
Why are all the answers here from FMHY? It was like 20th on the list in terms of popularity when I joined. I chose it because it had fewer restrictions - users can create their own communities and, most importantly, downvote (the chart I looked at said some didnβt have downvotes??). Also I assume pirates know how to run a server.
Yeah same, I'm from FMHY as well and I'm really confused as to why everyone is saying FMHY.
I picked it because I skipped over the first couple large communities looking for smaller ones that allowed everything. Didn't really care about the piracy aspect at all.
Iβm starting to feel we should delete this whole thread and replace it with how much FMHY sucks and is the worst instance ever the admins are literal trash pandas please donβt come here. I like it small.
nice humor π shouldn't be downvoted !
"Lemmy.world" because it's the largest one for the moment.
Before the Reddit exodus, a few days ago, "lemmy.ml" was the largest one but it's admins are also on "lemmygrad.ml" !
They ban anyone vocal & lucid.
Fmhy. For one thing, most of my reddit usage was related to Linux, datahoarding, self hosting, and torrenting. So coming here is the natural choice. The great thing about us pirates is that we aren't hated by very many people (and therefore aren't banned by the big instances), aren't generally extremists, and yet strongly support free speech. In fact, one of the only major instances to allow nsfw content at all and to not defederate a whole bunch of instances for no apparent reason
It's also one of the biggest instances still accepting new accounts, aside from lemmy.world, which is too big
