Following the spirit of spreading across the Fediverse (and because my main instance is down so many times, because diverse reasons) I'm intrigued about the joining instance process, because I honestly don't know what criteria to have in order to join another one if I ever want to do it.

That made me curious of how you decided to join?

I firstly join to lemmy.fmhy.ml thanks to Spez and a Reddit post from FMHY subreddit, then the tragedy occurred, then I joined to lemmy.world which is/was my main one because I pictured it like a good home, then lemmy.fmhy.net revived and I am with them too, but seems like they are in a bit of trouble with the server, finally now I am in lemm.ee, but only because I just wanted another backup, not because I searched for it especially (also it was mentioned in a comment about smaller instances and one user from here throw a joke to not join here because it sucks so that way the server would be more stable, so yeah, I joined).

To be clear I am not in search for yet another instance (that sounds like a good instance name to be fair), I just want to know how the deciding process is for you, is it just random? Is it because of personal tastes?

I couldn't care less about NSFW stuff, I don't search for it specifically, but my day won't be ruined if I see a tit.

I like gaming, tech, Linux, SBC gaming, emulation, macOS, Android stuff etc (yeah how original) should I look for an instance dedicated to that if I ever want to join yet another one? Because I see topics like this in almost any instance.

I read you lemmings!

EDIT: BTW the migration process has been easier for me thanks to LASIM, so I wouldn't be scared if I ever want/have to migrate again.

I was on lemmygrad at first but then they banned me for being a liberal so now I'm on hexbear

Youre better off. Lemmygrad is like 90% Russian propagandists. Dudes think editing a commercial to whiten skin tone is the same as genociding children.

Reminds me of late stage 4chan and r/the_donald

As a Hexbear user, I personally get paychecks from both Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping for every comment. It's a pretty sweet gig ngl.

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Xi ate all my food with a giant spoon. It's true because the TV told me so. They are telling the truth just like they told the truth about MKUltra and Vietnam and those WMDs and-

Have you tried reading the thread? We were talking about lemmygrad.

But I've been seeing yall dipshits on hexbear brigaiding and doxxing people for the tamest shit so I wouldn't be surprised to see yall far behind.

PIGPOOPBALLS

ok I'll bite. Who's been brigaded, or doxxed, via hexbear? Our own users?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

doxxing people

Literally where? I've seen people talking about the dweebs running lemmy dot world doxxing some random user that they thought was @ Carcosa on hexbear, but I have not seen even a single allusion to hexbear doxxing anyone until now, including from the sea of people who hate it.

banned me for being a liberal

Explains why they've completely ignored my registration request, only wanted to learn more about socialism over there since my instance is defederated from them. Oh well ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

There are people on Hexbear who would positively love to talk with someone curious to learn if you post a thread on c/askchapo and try to be unassuming about things.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Hexbear is fine for that btw
