Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.
And we have a handful of large communities.
Thanks for the kind words. We try our best, and we owe a lot to @smorks@lemmy.ca for setting the right tone got the instance to start with!

I like how their admins still show up as Admins even when commenting on a post on another instance. At least in voyager they do.
Honestly probably a bug, but it’s cool.
That’s because you’re a user on our instance.
I’m partial to the one where sh.itjust.works
This is a certified sh.ithead moment
What’s the last instance anyone would want to defederate from? The instance which deals the most with troubleshooting technical problems. programming.dev has a lot of technical communities and also a lot of users who answer technical questions.
I also like the local experience on programming.dev. If the instance is too small, local feels empty. But, on the other hand, a lot of large instances have local feeds which are just like the all feed. I feel like programming.dev has a good balance of a distinctive yet active local feed.
I’m pretty new to the fediverse, but I haven’t been too negatively impacted by lemmy.world’s issues, especially in the last few weeks since the performance issues were solved.
I wouldn’t be against setting up another acct on a smaller instance, but I don’t want to have to maintain two sets of sfw subscriptions. If there could be a service to sync your subscriptions between instances I’d be all over it.

Definitely sh.itjust.works. The largest instance that defederates with the fewest other instances (though they could still do better here - there’s no reason to defederate either exploding-heads or lemmygrad), no email required on sign up, and a super chill vibe.
I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.
I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.
I know both have very subjective ways to measure the metrics, but still, there must be some sort of answer.
I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.
Almost definitely beehaw
I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.
Probably exploding-heads. If not, then lemmygrad.
Why did beehaw defederate from sh.itjust.works?
Beehaw is purpose built to be a echo chamber where nobody risks seeing dissent. They defederate every instance that doesn’t meet their exact censorship standards
Ah, like r/socialism not allowing any criticism of socialism. Got it.
Lemmy.nz is a nice small country instance with one rule, don’t be a dick.
Username checks out
Lemmy.one, the host is great and up-to-date
