Lots of rude and hateful comments over here generating a ton of reports. Next time I'm issuing perma-bans for this kind of nonsense. Be respectful.

This thread is wild. I am good on Lemmy. I like sopuli.xyz
I'm honestly embarrassed by the comments on this post. Is this really the best advice we can offer a newcomer to Lemmy? This internecene warfare between instances is not doing us any favours.
Yeah. Yikes.
The advice is decent actually. It's the non-advice comments that should just be deleted. Even the advice from that .ml guy is careful. Wouldn't have caused any issue if someone didn't pick the fight while fully aware that there will not be a resolution.
I’m in a similar boat, though I’ve been present for some time.
Dbzer0 seems like the best “fit” for me, but practically I just want the instance that’s not defederated/blocking other instances.
…Not sure which that is. But I’d look at Piefed before Lemmy, since they work together, but Piefed seems more desirable feature-wise.
Lemmy.sdf.org and lemmy.zip have very lax defederation policies, those might interest you
Do other instances defederate with them, though?
lemmy.today is federated both ways with pretty much all of Lemmy, from .world to tankie triad to beehaw
AFAIK no. Lemmy.zip is not problematic and SDF largely stays in the background.
I tried to verify this but the only tool for this stuff, defed.xyz, seems to have shut down 4 months ago, shame.
It's hard to guess why you're dissatisfied with blahaj.zone. Far as I know it still has a good reputation.
If blahaj.zone is still great then im proud to be on this instance :3 im just exploring other options in case
If you like Blahaj then there is also a Piefed Blahaj instance now! I like Piefed over lemmy, I don’t know if they’ve added it to lemmy since I left but I really like being able to mute replies. It has other features lemmy lacks too, like being able to block an entire instance or make feeds (multireddit like function).
I can do both of those with Lemmy. Maybe it's per app? Summit on Android allows both instance blocking and feeds.
That sounds like an app extending Lemmy's featureset. I cannot do those on boost.. that I'm aware of.

I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don't block anyone. I expected chaos, but it's richer. To be fair, I rarely browse 'All,' instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.
Now it's my main account.
PR Edit: I meant no offense to the good people of hexbear, I'm just confused by your ways.
Browsing /subscribed only is definitely the way.

none. join a piefed instance instead.
is there an introduction to piefed instances anywhere? what happened to lemmy that caused ppl to migrate to piefed?
We didn't want to be lending any form of support to developers who deny genocide and promote transphobia.
So we found a more ethical solution and than it turns out the developers are fucking amazing and it's progressing so fast that it's leaving Lemmy in the dust. Many people are now moving because it's offering features and improvements that the Lemmy devs refused to.

https://join.piefed.social/try/ has a list. There just arn't that many yet but https://anarchist.nexus/ is a solid choice.
Join multiple for when you get banned in some sub.
And donate some money. Don't waste resources
It says there are 200 comments but I can see 2. So my 2 cents, jump onto the easiest instance you can. For me, that was .world. Get on the boat, then reassess when you have more time.
The first jump, reddit to Lemmy, is the hardest. The second is super easy in comparison.
It says there are 200 comments but I can see 2
This happens if other users have blocked you or your instance.
That was my first instance before i decided to change. Ngl i prob shoulda stuck with world coz i do be a general purpose fam. Thats why i started piefed with the main instance
Well for anarchist/queer/pro-environment, Lemmy.dbzer0.com slrpnk.net and (kinda) Lemmy.blahaj.zone, not officially but tons of anarchists there.
Another important thing to consider is federation policy (if you're looking to make accounts there and not just browse comms from your current acc:)). For example Dbzer0 is the most lax and blahaj is the most moderated, not necessarily good or bad it just depends on what you personally want.
Edit: also welcome back to lemmy !

To be honest since you can design everything by joining communities you like. I feel like it doesn’t matter

You know what's nice? That we have this option at all. I'm partial to sdf, piefed, and world myself.
Worst part is they are all on cloudflare. I only found 2 that are not. they are feddit.fr and peifed.hlahaz
iirc Lemmy.dbzer0.com isn't either.
Our dear wrench monkey , tenchiken, is working on moving anarchist.nexus off cloudflare too, nice
Check out slrpnk.net! Environmentalist, anarchist-leaning, very inclusive, with excellent admins and renewable-energy-powered servers.
I’d guess the one which seems that it will last more, since you can subscribe to communities of any other instance. You’ll only see a difference if you browse only local posts.
In my case I chose infosec.pub because I want to browse it locally if I want, but my subscribed communities include memes and webcomics for some light time wasters.
