I just left reddit and registered lemmy. Did it all on a train ride. It felt pretty easy. Had to search two things: which app do I use for lemmy? And: how do I register for lemmy? Other than that: effortless.

Same, also, which instance? I know that the whole idea is that it kinda doesnโ€™t matter, but still itโ€™s nice to have a big instance. And it would be amazing having an easy resource to list the biggest communities. But all in all it was a 5 min thing, search for the Reddit equivalent of my most communities and letโ€™s go :)

If you want a big instance I recommend switching to something like lemmy.zip.

Lemmy.ml unfortunately has very questionable moderation. I'm thrilled you guys are here, but the fact that you ended up on that instance is proof that we have ways to go as a platform.

I wanted to go with lemmy.world and then realised I already had an account there, so did not bother creating a new one . But thanks for the recommendation
