What's the culture of different instances? (lemm.ee)

Does anyone know about the culture of different Lemmy instances?

I saw in this post that the culture between instances can vary quite a bit: https://lemmy.ca/post/40916774

What are the differences between the major instances?

For work browsing safety, my strategy is to use two instances:

  • lemm.ee – because it doesn’t allow pornographic content.
  • lemmynsfw.com – for anything I wish to subscribe to that falls into the opposite category.

Thanks, I'll be referencing this in the future.

this has a more comprehensive list: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

and nearly all of them will have a paragraph or 2 summarizing the instance.

/me notes the commenter's home instance and concludes there is no point in arguing about this very biased take...

impartiality only exists in the eye of the beholder

And then there's my instance:

  • sh.itjust.works - pretty chill, and things tend to work pretty well

I'm not sure what else to say about the culture.

Just here to add that dormi.zone is a bunch of chill Warframe players
