Asklemmy

I actually made my home in the one hosting a previous reddit community I was fond of, just choose one u like.

I created my own because I wanted a more specific type of instance, a place that I would want to read the local feed rather than just see randomness. I also wanted to create a space that I felt at home.

You're welcome to come say hello at Wayfarers' Haven - sign-ups are open but do need a short application to keep things ship-shape.

Feddit.de because the guys at R/de linked to it

This was linked on some post about alternatives to that other site I want to stop using. And honestly I'm quite confused on the "it doesn't matter/it does matter" so I'm just rolling with it and not trying to worry about it.

Kbin just because I love the interface and I love the idea of having both articles and microblogs!

Randomly came across mine. Was gunna join a larger instance just for testing, but it was right as the big Reddit rush was happening and my signups kept failing.

So I went with this one.

I chose beehaw. I chose wrong. So now I'm on lemmy.world and nothing was lost 😎

I'm using https://lemmy.dbzer0.com because I can't start an account in lemmy.ml

I chose kbin, loved the integration with mastodon

I was curious when I heard about Kbin. I like it so far

I chose what was a smaller instance to try to spread things out

I made an account at kbin.social and just went with it. It's all gonna be federated anyway (unless it gets defederated) and each day actually feels like it's improving.

I chose Kbin because at the time I went searching it was the only option that was working/responsive haha.

Kbin has my favorite interface from the federated sites I've seen, and the developer seems like a decent dude.

I ended up with kbin.social since I liked the interface, liked the roadmap and existing integration with Mastodon, and because that instance was the one everyone was suggesting for KBin at the time. I'll most likely spin up my own instance for myself and maybe a small group of others to join.

I used Lemmy for a while but now I am planning to exclusively use kbin. It appears to be a way more mature project and is infinitely better UI/UX wise than Lemmy. Moreover it's a project maintained by a fellow Polander and not a bunch of tankies.

I started on https://midwest.social (Lemmy) before Kbin was on my radar because I'm from the Midwest. There are things I like about both platforms. I'm spending more time on kbin.social right now because Midwest is having performance issues, but I like the community there, so I may hang out on both and see where the platforms go with development, features, mobile apps, and the feel for the local community.

I've been using Kbin and Lemmy so far and I like both, but Kbin seems much more stable right now. I like kbin interface a bit more and the ranking algo seems to work better (there an issue on lemmy with hot and posts being added that should not be there). Kbin also let's me sort by 3hr/6hr/12hr in addition to normal sorting options.

I figured my instance would make it easier to satisfy my requirement to tell everyone I use Arch, btw.

Sticking with BeeHaw for their community (usually browse local only) and now Kbin for the wider fediverse. I'd use Fedia.io over kbin.social (to put less strain on Kbin.social) but fedia.io isn't federating perfectly yet and seems to have image issues. I'm sure @Jerry will have it running smooth soon enough and I'll probably migrate my Kbin/fediverse-wide browsing there.

I picked my regional one (technically also better for latency)

Kbin.social has a good interface, a few userscripts to customize it as I please, and it was the first one listed on the website that was in english lol.

I read two things about the fediverse and immediately hopped over here to make an account. Though I had no idea what I was doing, like no idea. Kbin was the first name that popped up and I signed up for it.

Again, no idea what I was doing. Once I did sort of figure out the fediverse I also signed up for Lemmy but I didn't seem to like it as much as Kbin so, I'm sticking here.

I initially made an account here because it looked cool. But I didn't know that kbin was part of the Federation so I also made an account on the newly created lemmy.world instance just to bounce between kbin and lemmy. But once federation was enabled here I subscribed to all the communities I had subscribed on lemmy world. Still bounce between the two buuuuut spending most of my time here. Love you guys!

I prefer kbin's UI to the other federated servers I've tried. Beehaw is probably #2 for me, and it seems like a really nice community. Mastodon.social is also cool but it's a lot more twitter-like which I have a hard time getting used to.

lemmy.ml says they are overloaded, I then found beehaw but they requires signup application so I say fuck it and choose lemmy.world instead.

I tend to hang in indie game development subreddits and didn't want to have to deal with confrontational trolls on a regular basis, so programming.dev felt like a relatively safe choice since it's neither a super large server or a general-purpose one. I just wanna make lil' games and have little patience for those lacking in empathy and maturity.
