To be honest I don't like their name so I've been avoiding it just for that reason

My only requirements for an instance are:
-
It works
-
It's not run by or full of fascists
-
It's furry
There were two choices. Now there is one. Thankfully the other one only fails item 1.
But this instance is cool, too. And db0.
Db0 is pretty fucking dope ngl. Their piracy megathread alone brings them over the top. The lack of censorship is just icing on the cake.
It's because this place is run by TheDude. As we all know: TheDude abides.
lol exactly why i came here but juste used the ~vibe~ -o-meter to know it was here that the internet should just be a stupid forum for stupid posts for stupid people stupid is interchangeable with funny
This place is cool. Thanks admins for your great work
I chose it for the clever URL not knowing much when I first came to lemmy. Happy circumstance that it ended up being a solid choice. :)
Cheers to the mods and admins for making this a great place.

sopuli is chill
Here is where I started, here my I be hurried. Love the ethos, love the mods, love the stability! (Great job @[email protected]).
Also, SJWBot still makes me laugh every time I see it.
The Canadian lemmy instance lemmy.ca is pretty cool. (Though sh.itjust.works is also Canadian)

I don't think it would be fair to credit sh.it just.works as the only instance with no dealbreaker, but it has served me very well ever since the reddit api changes.
tru. most of the ones mentioned here ive never seen anything negative about (tho havent checked all their mod logs). yeah maybe to say 'best' is less accurate than 'among the handful that are the best' (or mouthful if one has no hands)
The instance admin commented on rules a while back: "Number one rule is to not make us ban you". And I think that tends to curate a userbase that are able to behave themselves without needing a defined set of rules to live by. Rules are one thing, but if you need common sense spelled out for you, you're probably not the kind of user I need/want around anyway.
hexbear is but hear it's ideologically wonky.
Understatement of the year LMAO
lemmy.ml to understand they purposely are a socialist communist niche community so they basically remove content they don't want.
Uh nah, they're tankies, they're authoritarian communists essentially
uh I just picked lemmy.ml pretty randomly when I moved from Reddit, though I specifically picked it over lemmygrad because I'd heard lemmygrad was full of tankies. personally, I'm a left libertarian. I'm not auth at all.
I think you might be overestimating how much a user's home lemmy indicates their ideology.
There's heavy handed moderation in .ml communities that people hold big grudges about, and that's mostly about it.
.ml is a tankie instance not because of the bulk of the users, I do not judge any user, .ml or otherwise, until I have seen them or seen evidence of them commenting Tankie ideology or defending it.
.ml is deemed a tankie instance because the admins and many of the mods not only are hardcore tankies themselves but also enforce the ideology throughout their instance via admin/mod action
.ml is the most subtle of the Tankie Triad and because they host some official Lemmy support comms often get treated with "kid gloves" by the other instances and don't get defed'd from like the rest of the tankie triad does (Hexbear and Lemmygrad)
Checkout [email protected] if you want to see more
Actually, because the .ml admins block that comm so you can't see it, you'll need to use this link through another instance: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
Hey now, get down offa your soapbox cm0002! Don't let your passion derail the thread now...

State socialists, if you like. It's an oxymoron, but some still seem to choose it.

Shit just works, it's in the name.
Shhhh it just works
All votes are public on lemmy, no matter what instance. It’s how federation works.
sopuli.xyz and feddit.org are also pretty decent IMO.
Lemm.ee is great too. It's just.. there. And I love it
Its great. I definitely got lucky when i randomly picked it back during the migration.
Zip as well. We're just...exists.
I know yous as the instance that's a little broken in the UK
Yet for some reason works through a client but not via the website. But yes, alas the UK, I knew it well
This place and dbzer0 are my favorites.
I started on .world when I first learned about Lemmy, but recently found dbzer0 and realized I finally found my people.
