since lemm.ee is slated to be gone soon, does anyone know of any other instances with similar policies regarding defederation? i've always loved how i can follow communities basically wherever from here. it's why i chose here over elsewhere. i just wanna be able to curate my own feed, but most big instances seem to have all these complicated beefs that mean i'd lose access to some communities if i moved there.

In general, while it's already huge, sh.itjust.works errs on the side of careful defederation. Afaik, none of the big instances are defederated at all.

It's pretty stable too. I think it's been down maybe twice for any significant length of time.

That's the two biggest factors in why it's where my main account is.

So, it's an option for sure.

A friend of mine is on lemdro.id, and he's able to reach all the usual instances. Same with dbzero, though they have a bit more focused set of policies. Both are very stable as well.

About the only instance that you'll run into trouble accessing from most is hexbear or whatever it's called now. All the other big/biggish ones are usually not defederated widely.

Hexbear is still called that. They were able to recover their domain after all. By my calculations, they appear to be in the top 10 largest lemmy instances by MAU, top 5 by number of accounts, and number 2 lemmy instance by number of posts, out of the regular user-driven (not automated cross-posting) instances, behind only lemmy.world.
