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.
So far I like it. And lemmy world. But are my go to.
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.
There’s no place like localhost.
I like lemm.ee a lot, it’s very fast and stable.
Agreed! Admittedly I am quite biased as I am an Admin, but I really enjoy the little community we hae going at lemm.ee :)
I like lemmy.world as well.
When it’s up.
That holds true for any instance though and the larger instances have more work.

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.
lemmy.ml admins are tankies :/ I have been loving the fmhy instance
I’m divided on how to handle this from a mod perspective. On the one hand - it’s derogatory and breaks rule #1. The OP also explicitly excluded Lemmy.ml. On the other hand, making me uncomfortable doesn’t break any rules and it’s a valid comment. Thoughts?
I wouldn’t take it personally if you would just feel better removing the comment? but I don’t think it’s derogatory it is just what admins views are even tho tankie is a slang world maybe I should just say red fascist?
Thanks for your comment!
According to Wikipedia, tankie is a pejorative term - belittling, disparaging, or derogatory. So, while many don’t agree with their views, I don’t see a point to being rude or cruel. We are here to share info and not to judge each other as people. If people want to avoid Lemmy.ml due to the admins or the Lemmy project due to developers’ views, that’s their call. I still don’t see a point to being rude. We also have rule #2 which is to not be offensive.
With that reasoning, I’m going to delete your comment. Feel free to reply again with the bit about your preferred instance.
aight, fair have a nice day
I consider Lemmy.world as being my main home instance, and I think it’s probably one of the best. However, it does occasionally seem to have some downtime, so I have accounts on a couple of smaller instances, lemdro.id and lemmy.zip, both of which I think also work very well.
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.
Small ones with 100% uptime and a handful of users who don’t interact with each other.
I’m on feddit.de - I was on lemmy.ml before but unfortunately the default instance is getting hammered pretty hard both by real users and apparently also DDOS attacks now.
Feddit.de is hosted close to me and therefore very quick and also reliable. It’s one of the biggest lemmy instances but small enough to be well moderated.
