    Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.

    And we have a handful of large communities.

    What’s the last instance anyone would want to defederate from? The instance which deals the most with troubleshooting technical problems. programming.dev has a lot of technical communities and also a lot of users who answer technical questions.

    I also like the local experience on programming.dev. If the instance is too small, local feels empty. But, on the other hand, a lot of large instances have local feeds which are just like the all feed. I feel like programming.dev has a good balance of a distinctive yet active local feed.

      Agreed! Admittedly I am quite biased as I am an Admin, but I really enjoy the little community we hae going at lemm.ee :)

    I’m pretty new to the fediverse, but I haven’t been too negatively impacted by lemmy.world’s issues, especially in the last few weeks since the performance issues were solved.

    I wouldn’t be against setting up another acct on a smaller instance, but I don’t want to have to maintain two sets of sfw subscriptions. If there could be a service to sync your subscriptions between instances I’d be all over it.

      I’m divided on how to handle this from a mod perspective. On the one hand - it’s derogatory and breaks rule #2. The OP also explicitly excluded Lemmy.ml. On the other hand, making me uncomfortable doesn’t break any rules and it’s a valid comment. Thoughts?

        I wouldn’t take it personally if you would just feel better removing the comment? but I don’t think it’s derogatory it is just what admins views are even tho tankie is a slang world maybe I should just say red fascist?

          Thanks for your comment!

          According to Wikipedia, tankie is a pejorative term - belittling, disparaging, or derogatory. So, while many don’t agree with their views, I don’t see a point to being rude or cruel. We are here to share info and not to judge each other as people. If people want to avoid Lemmy.ml due to the admins or the Lemmy project due to developers’ views, that’s their call. I still don’t see a point to being rude. We also have rule #2 which is to not be offensive.

          With that reasoning, I’m going to delete your comment. Feel free to reply again with the bit about your preferred instance.

      I’m pretty sure latte.isnot.coffe admins are also tankies. Should’ve done my research before I signed up. Maybe some day account migration will be a thing. ('Cuz I’d like to keep my post history if I were to jump to a different instance.)

    I consider Lemmy.world as being my main home instance, and I think it’s probably one of the best. However, it does occasionally seem to have some downtime, so I have accounts on a couple of smaller instances, lemdro.id and lemmy.zip, both of which I think also work very well.

    Small ones with 100% uptime and a handful of users who don’t interact with each other.

    Definitely sh.itjust.works. The largest instance that defederates with the fewest other instances (though they could still do better here - there’s no reason to defederate either exploding-heads or lemmygrad), no email required on sign up, and a super chill vibe.

      I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.

      I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

      I know both have very subjective ways to measure the metrics, but still, there must be some sort of answer.

        Almost definitely beehaw

        I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

        Probably exploding-heads. If not, then lemmygrad.
