"I prefer the one I'm posting from." - every single response
yep
I prefer sopuli.xyz
Was waiting for an instance admin lol
He's right. No bias, I swear.
I dunno why but everytime I see that, I misread it as SoPopular ;)
Lemmy.world for me.
It's generic, has a good list of communities, and the mods are legends with updates and transparency.
I personally prefer using Lemm.ee, mostly because it's the instance I started off with, but the problem with that instance is that it's dry lol
Hexbear 
The best community on the internet
nice logo
Some really good artists at Hexbear too
:0
o7 we love our big red mad comrades
lemmy.sdf.org when it works; federation there is kinda fucked right now, so ~~I'm on lemmy.today for now.~~ I accidentally posted it from SDF. Comment if you can see this.
SDF has an extensive track record (* much longer than I have been alive*) of providing systems for the public good. If federation gets fixed (and it probably will eventually), I'll be back on SDF.
Additionally, I generally don't want the set of people I can connect with to be technically limited, like at all. Yes that includes "all the bad people" according to your (and my) individual worldview. If they're going to exist, I would prefer to have advanced notice of the danger they pose. If you suck, I will block you.
I'm not against moderated or curated instances, and for most people that is probably the way to go, but it's not what I personally need. Yes, this means that I occasionally get wild shit when I choose to scroll through All. Yes, that means I get various shades of genocide apologists and weird bigots, again when I choose not to browse by Local or Subscribed. That's why I'm subscribed to a bunch of cool, moderated communities. I choose the content I see.
That is the approach I prefer for myself. Again, I understand that it's not for everyone.
As far as instances where I'm not (yet) a member, lemmy.dbzer0.com is my favorite by far. Also while I don't have any communities on their instance, the startrek.website people seem to always have something interesting to say.

As an American I prefer lemmy.ca
lemmy.ohaa.xyz, cause its mine :D
now THATS the spirit!
Lemm.ee. I like the defederation policy, and in my experience the community and its admins have always been very responsive.
lemm.ee fans RISE UP!!!
I like mine because it is mine :)
Lemmy.ca and sh.itjust.works
sh.itjust.works is the best name for a instance
mander.xyz is my favorite. Love and subscribed to the most of the communities it have.

Lemm.ee seems pretty okay.
I don't care much about instances though, I just use Lemmy like it's Reddit and scroll through the home page and my subscriptions
hexbear and lemmygrad are fantastic. makes me feel very welcome and safe as a queer person (i am bisexual) that the admins will always crack down on queerphobia in any form. very cool for our trans comrades as well! lemmy.ml is a close third place, many cool ppl on there especially comrade dessalines.
My main is reddthat.com
Clear and open admins; smaller instance with room to grow; it's my personal favorite
I like .world abit, but I'm a touch biased ๐คฃ
Dbzer0 yeah. It have served well without any downtime for me. Also piracy friendly. Startrek.website people seems chill
Every instance is good because every instance can interact with many other instances with comments, posts etc. So you arent really locked into one instance. its the magic of federation.
I'd be very careful with those words given that lemmy.world is rather trigger happy with defederations.
It is almost impossible to completely censor away content and anyone can bridge blocks by creating a new intermediary instance where they can view content of mutually blocked instances but it's not like you see all the fediverse content on any instance.
Matter of fact you just need to look at the blocklists of most instances to get a pretty good guess at the other, less legal, Fediverse out there running almost in parallel to the popular one. But since almost every instance has those blocked you don't see any of that shit in your feeds. Highly censorship resistant, but ultimately an individual is still at the mercy of their instance admins.
Is it possible to switch instances? I wanna explore and I just randomly picked one when I started
Youโve just got to make a new account on a different instance. Several of the apps make it easy to switch between multiple accounts on different instances.
