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 actually made my home in the one hosting a previous reddit community I was fond of, just choose one u like.
I chose beehaw. I chose wrong. So now I’m on lemmy.world and nothing was lost 😎
I was told it was better for load balancing if we didn’t all use the same one. So I just looked for one that had easy signups and didn’t seem overeager to block stuff. Apparently, some from this instance come form /r/china. I’m not, but I do drink coffee. Anyway, I think it’s working out so far; better than reddit anyway.
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 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.
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
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 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 :)
You all need some longer usernames, sheesh.
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.
I chose lemmy.world after lemmy.ml closed their registration. Just glad I made my account somewhere.
lemmy.world is more open and performant than lemmy.ml and Beehaw.
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.
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.
