I’m currently struggling to find my home. I have an account here at lemmy.ml, where most of my posts are, and one at kbin.
Why do you think your instance is the place to be?
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.
Programming.dev represent! 🙌🏽
SDF has been around since the 1980’s. It is one of the most historically trustworthy institutions on the Internet.
I’ve been an SDF member since 2001.
So it just made sense to use my community’s instance of Lemmy, since I also use their Pixelfed and Mastodon.
I chose beehaw. I chose wrong. So now I’m on lemmy.world and nothing was lost 😎
lemmy.world is more open and performant than lemmy.ml and Beehaw.
I actually made my home in the one hosting a previous reddit community I was fond of, just choose one u like.
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 picked my regional one (technically also better for latency)
I chose kbin, loved the integration with mastodon
I don’t see the appeal of mastodon but that’s a neat feature.
I like microblogging platforms; they allow me to get information faster (albeit less information) than these types of posts.
Joined sh.itjust.works since it’s located in North America, has open registration, and the admin sounds like he knows what he’s doing running a server. I’ve stayed 'cause it’s been stable and I like the admin’s vibe. It and lemmy.world seem to have become the main large “general purpose” instances since they both have open registration.
I also have an account on kbin that I’m not using much at the moment. I think that site has lots of future potential, though.
Lemmy.world: because it was the top result on Google and I neither knew about the other servers nor remembered my experiences with Mastodon.
Probably going to stay here anyway.
Mostly out of laziness
Kbin because it was the first one that actually let me register and didn’t freeze
Seriously, this. I tried for days to register on Lemmy. One day I was mid-registration and the button was just spinning, doing nothing, so I came over to kbin, registered and started using the site. Lemmy never stopped spinning. No thanks.
Nice username :)
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.
I chose lemmy.world solely on the fact it had a lot of members. Lemmy.ml was a contender too. I just wanted to jump in and check things out. Knowing (slightly)more now, I don’t think it was a bad choice.
feddit.dk. I wanted a regional instance as my home instance, because they tend to be chill with controlled growth, while also having native language discussions. My country didn’t have a Lemmy instance at the time, so I picked the closest option. I love Denmark and they don’t seem too annoyed by my presence (yet). Thanks for having me 🫶🏻 🇩🇰
