Which Lemmy instance is your new favorite, and why?
(lemmy.world)
Start your own instance. Then it's the best™
Not with this soggy sock running it.
I went with sh.itjust.works personally, mostly because I liked the name, it's been good so far
That was my first choice, but shit didn't just work, and I never got my verification email.
Had the same issue. It’s apparently been a problem for some time now. I ended up using my back up email to sign up.
Same thing for me with iusearchlinux.fyi, but before joining I had to leave lemmy.world after I had issues logging in. I could reset my password and login that way but I couldn't actually login using the form. It was an issue lemmy.world had at the time, but not iusearchlinux.fyi
Lemm.ee has been working well for me, but I haven’t been paying too much attention to the admins. I mostly left lemmy.world because of the downtime
Yep, lemm.ee was my alt for when lemmy.world was down. Decided to go ahead and just make it my main account.
The vast majority of comments in here seem to be focused on the attitude of "why you trying to start shit"
But legitimately from an outside presiding perspective, which instances have people found to be decent, there seems to be a heap of Lemmy instances, each with their own rules and vibes, so what's the go?
The usual resource is to look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, filter by 1m, and then have a look at the top 20.
spez-like
That's probably the biggest insult you can say ton any person on this platform

I've chosen lemm.ee from the beginning. I like it so far.
Me too. Its better. No downtime, no arbritary defeds.
My own 💅
me on my way to join your instance
You are more than welcome to! We have so.. much.. books.
I'd love that I could surf instances, from mobile apps.
This is new territory for most instance admin and a volunteer effort. If you haven't already, I'd encourage you to consider sharing constructive feedback with them as a first step instead.
As for finding new instances, it's generally recommended to visit https://join-lemmy.org/instances.
Interesting point to say they are spez-like while they just want to comply with local regulations

The real answer is to have multiple accounts spread around on different servers just in case one server goes tits up or bans content you like to see. You should be treating accounts here as having a limited shelf life anyway for good internet hygiene purposes.
Also so you don't lose your subscribed list. Though it's a huge pain here to set that up.
Is there an efficient way to transfer lists between accounts?
I've seen a script or something being shared to do it but haven't used it myself as of yet.
I think it depends what you are looking for but I think a solid rule of thumb is to look at what communities you interact with the most and see what instances they belong to.
If piracy is specifically what you are after I'd go for dbzer0. If it's NSFW content that kind of complicates things.
I decided to give leminal.space a try and I like it. The admins are nice and quick to deal with issues and make posts about changes in the instance.
lemmy.dbzer0.com, this was founded by key people at r/piracy.
I was already considering switching over to kbin fully just because they're set up to interact with both Lemmy instances and Mastodon. Unfortunately the Mastodon side still feels a bit janky, but I'm hoping that'll change as time goes on.
Definitely not going to stay with an instance that pre-emptively bends over for corporate interests. That's one of the biggest reasons why I'm shifting away from Reddit in the first place.

Which one are you thinking about? No instance has corporate interests AFAIK
No instance has corporate interests AFAIK
if you want to go "well technically..." there are some mastodon instances that are VC funded (mainly in japan, though i think there's like 1 or 2 in english), a few explicitly hosted by companies like vivaldi (the browser people) and medium, and misskey the software has built in support for running ads (though no western instance does that to the best of my knowledge)
none of them are lemmy, but they can all talk to each other
Lots of upcoming bug fixes and improvements for kbin. It's been a slow process but super keen to get them out finally
I'm just happy to find a reddit alternative. Reddit decided to ban my account because I had two linked accounts and both accounts made a comment on the same post accidentally, because I forgot my main profile has already commented.. I got perma banned for what they said was cheating the system?!?! I made a two new emails and two new accounts and instantly banned on those too... Dude I was and am pissed, because my accounts were four years old with great interactions and subs... With no recourse to appeal... Found Lemmy.world by chance, today.. and so far I am really happy with it. I saw that the app Boost will be coming out with its own app to host lemmt and I am all for it.
Wow. People are salty that lemmy.world wants to stay legal? Interesting...
Is this because of the recent defederation from piracy instances?
This instance is a "open to everyone" instance.
Not "new" for me but I've been happy with lemmy.zip so far. Otherwise I'd be looking at https://sh.itjust.works or just work my way down the list at https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active
