What are your criteria for choosing an instance other than Lemmy.world?
Hello everyone,
Based on the recent instability of Lemmy.world, a lot of people have been wondering whether they should move to another instance.
I used to look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list and recommend people to pick a generalist instance with as much users as possible (using the 1m column), usually
Would you recommend users to join those as well, assuming that the admins use the LCS to populate the All feed? Most of us remember the Vlemmy.net disappearance, and it's difficult to tell users to join small instances based on good faith, but at the same time, every instance needs to start somewhere, and they should be given a chance.
I don't want to be on an instance that defederates instances based on any ideology. Originally I signed up for beehaw.org but saw they were defederating with instances who "didn't share their inclusive views" That's fine as it is their instance I guess, but I deleted my account. If your ideology of choice needs censorship to back it up, maybe it's not that great. I want my all to be EVERYTHING porn nazis communists I don't give a shit. ALL MEANS ALL
