Which instance would you use instead of lemmy.zip?

From another post

  • Lemmy.world is too big
  • sh.itjust.works names contains "shit", which can deter users
  • lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric
  • feddit.org, is German-centric, but technically English speaking too
  • dbzer0 federates hexbear
  • programming.dev is topic-centric
  • blahaj is queer-focused
  • discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name
  • lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone
  • beehaw defederates LW and SJW
  • infosec.pub is topic-centric
  • aussie.zone is country-centric
  • midwest.social is region-centric

There's a reason lemm.ee was the previous default instance.

Haha don't put it on me, I'm merely a consumer!

You've already suggested feddit.uk, why not use that for UK Voyager installs? Anything that isn't an instance that they can't actually use would be good.

I was trying to show that it's easier said than done.

Same for the region choice, we all learned that Lemm.ee was closing 24 hours ago. The Voyager dev made the best choice with the small timeframe, he'll probably revisit down the line.

Yeah, and that's fair enough. I hope it does get revisited.
