A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Stability – So, uptime and rate at which it updates with Lemmy.
Moderation – One or two good Admins at least to keep things running smoothly and communicate with us Lemmings effectively, and have a decent ruleset.
Federation – Wide enough that I can get the content I'm looking for whilst (likely) not dealing with nutjobs.
The rest is all good, the federated nature of everything means I don't really need to be where the communities I use the most are.
Seems like a nice list
I've just got one criteria: I host 😀
Well I'm running my own no.lastname.nz
Just like @[email protected] it is mostly just myself that uses it, but reg is open. Admined from New Zealand and the server is in Australia
I have an account on Beehaw.org because I like their vibe and moderation policy, an account on sh.itjust.works for the occasional community creation ([email protected] promo time) and my main account on jlai.lu which is in my country and language.
So my main choice is regional, and then it's based on moderation policies & community creation permissions, etc., while on generalist instances. I'm thinking of swapping sh.itjust.works for a smaller, better moderated generalist instance that still allows community creation.
The reason I picked sh.itjust.works has my backup. Because I only heard good things about them. My main is lemmy.world.

Sh.itjust.works is my backup too. I signed up for it first because ease of access, but then I found mander.xyz which is more in line with my interests.
definitely worth taking a look at different instances stance on defederation. after the whole ordeal with lemmy.world defederating with hexbear prematurely its worth taking the time to find an instance that aligns with your ideals and won't remove communities you may find valuable. I personally dont align with hexbear's politics but I think that its important to have an open federation policy.
For me, I would want to to federate and not be defederated by with Lemmygrad and Hexbear, while also having the same for things like aussie.zone, pathfinder.social, slrpnk.net, and the larger instances so I can pick out good communities from them. Stability matters more than size for me, I have no issues with the all feed and actually have had to block some communities due to spam or lack of interest as it is.
Also, is it the case that it only shows communities someone is subscribed to in all, or is it discovered communities?
Did not know about that seeder. Super useful tool! Thanks for sharing.
General-purpose Lemmy instance. New users and communities welcome! Has upvoting and downvoting. Also, federated with most instances.
how do i know if my instance is using the Lemmy Community Seeder?
Probably ask your admin in the meta community
I usually use my lemmy.world account, but with the recent downtimes there, I've been using my alt account more. I choose this one because it's somewhat local to me, and it's nice to be able to see more somewhat local news and info.
I went with dbzer0 for two main reasons - pirates have a long history of maintaining server infrastructure, and joining a smaller instance fights centralization.
