I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don't block anyone. I expected chaos, but it's richer. To be fair, I rarely browse 'All,' instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.
Now it's my main account.
Browsing /subscribed only is definitely the way.
It's hard to guess why you're dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.
If blahaj.zone is still great then im proud to be on this instance :3 im just exploring other options in case
i no longer like lemmy blahaj.... cause i like piefed blahaj 💙
If you like Blahaj then there is also a Piefed Blahaj instance now! I like Piefed over lemmy, I don’t know if they’ve added it to lemmy since I left but I really like being able to mute replies. It has other features lemmy lacks too, like being able to block an entire instance or make feeds (multireddit like function).
ooh is there a list of piefed instances from most popular to most endorsements? And specifically ones that tailor to solarpunk/anarchism/lgbtq+? i wonder why everyone shifted to piefed? is it because one of the lemmy devs had a controversial past?
If you go here you can sort by size, uptime, etc, I’m not sure if anyone has made a curated list anywhere. There’s only a few instances with 100+ users, but since you’re seeing all the same fediverse content anyway it doesn’t matter much. My policy was to just pick an instance I trusted (already trusted Blahaj, so that was easy).
I would say it’s probably a good idea to pick an instance with at least 30-40 people, because the more people who have subscribed to remote communities, the more content will automatically federate to the instance (therefor making it easier for you to find new content).
+1 for more fellow PieFeds
ooh is there a list of piefed instances from most popular to most endorsements?
There's a built-in instance list on piefed when you click on "register". It's sorted by server speed. The most popular must be piefed.social.
And specifically ones that tailor to solarpunk/anarchism/lgbtq+?
In reverse order, piefed.blahaj.zone for a lgbtq+ instance, and anarchist.nexus as well as quokk.au for anarchist ones. @povoq@slrpnk.net mentioned the possibility of a solarpunk piefed instance in the past, but it's yet to become something concrete.
i wonder why everyone shifted to piefed? is it because one of the lemmy devs had a controversial past?
I think it's half because piefed has more features, develops faster than lemmy, and half because the lemmy devs are pricks (one being a transphobe, and the other not being all that bothered by it).
@povoq@slrpnk.net mentioned the possibility of a solarpunk piefed instance in the past, but it’s yet to become something concrete.
We don't plan to setup a separate Piefed instance, but we want to migrate our main Lemmy instance to Piefed sometimes early next year, but there are still some unknowns if the migration will be feasible or not.
none. join a piefed instance instead.
is there an introduction to piefed instances anywhere? what happened to lemmy that caused ppl to migrate to piefed?
https://join.piefed.social/try/ has a list. There just arn't that many yet but https://anarchist.nexus/ is a solid choice.
Well for anarchist/queer/pro-environment, Lemmy.dbzer0.com slrpnk.net and (kinda) Lemmy.blahaj.zone, not officially but tons of anarchists there.
Another important thing to consider is federation policy (if you're looking to make accounts there and not just browse comms from your current acc:)). For example Dbzer0 is the most lax and blahaj is the most moderated, not necessarily good or bad it just depends on what you personally want.
Edit: also welcome back to lemmy !
Is there an overview of the rules for all three instances? And which one is the most popular?
Just check each one's sidebar and see what you like best :).
Iirc there is a website for this yes, but i can't get it right now, sorry. But off the top of my head, top to bottom: dbzer0,blahaj, solarpunk
To be honest since you can design everything by joining communities you like. I feel like it doesn’t matter
I would like to know which ones are tailored to my interests, so i dont wanna join something like .ml. I remember there used to be a sheet somewhere with endorsements but i cant find it anymore
Endorsements? https://gui.fediseer.com/ maybe?
Interesting tool.
How is that ML only has two censures:
https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.ml
ML is a tankie instance.
Also fascinating to see DB0 giving an endorsement to ML. Not surprising though.
People probably don't want to defederate the flagship instance owned by the devs of the software they're using.
Censuring completely defederates an instance (at least with threativore) and most instances aren't defederated with ml anyway, so this makes sense:)
It has recieved two hesitations tho, which are like censures but without defederation
Ah I see. I didn't realize a censure had a technical component. That being said, by this point not much would be lost with a defederation from ML.
Still a mere two hesitations and tons of endorsements (including DB0).
ML are basically on par with Nazis; full endorsement of extermination of national identity/language/culture of "bad" ethnicities, support for russian Lebensraum, support for mass internment camps for "bad" ethnicities.
Sure, they deny this, but from memory all of the Nazis at Nuremberg pleaded not guilty.
Yes! Thats the one i remember
I’d guess the one which seems that it will last more, since you can subscribe to communities of any other instance. You’ll only see a difference if you browse only local posts.
In my case I chose infosec.pub because I want to browse it locally if I want, but my subscribed communities include memes and webcomics for some light time wasters.
There’s a couple of places you can look with info on the instances. I like the admins of my instance but I’ll be moving to their piefed instance instead.
Quick googling: https://join-lemmy.org/instances https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
Check out slrpnk.net! Environmentalist, anarchist-leaning, very inclusive, with excellent admins and renewable-energy-powered servers.
Sh.itjust.works is fine if you want to join a mid-sized instance.
I personally find DB0 to be a bit suspect (they tolerate and sometimes enable tankies).
Sh.itjust.works has been rumoured to have fascist views....
I think you should educate yourself a bit more on the subject
Please indulge me, my well educated friend.
