Beehaw.org says

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF IT. THERE'S WORSE SHIT ON THE LOCAL NEWS.

New user, signed up on an alternative. It isn't intuitive to add a community from another server. Got there eventually though!

We're rapidly reaching the point where enough of us have struggled and figured it out that we can teach the newbies as they arrive.

If it helps, I joined kbin cause I like the UI more :P

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Doesn't help that much, since we've apparently lit kbin.social's server on fire.

I'm hoping the maintainer gets the installation instructions polished up tomorrow and we can set up a bunch of other kbin instances.

aussie.zone alive and kicking.

First one I heard about was Lemmy.world, and for a short time I thought others were just "imitation offshoots", taking time to learn the system. There's still not a simple summary to send people, at the very least it can open simply as "Here's some non-Reddit Reddit sites"

I've had a lemmy.ml account for a little bit but I'm trying out a lemmy.world account as I was put off by some of the things I heard about the original server.

I think people naturally tend toward the servers of the people that started the project and also the servers that have the most people on them. As the federated technology continues to smooth out I think more people might be more comfortable spreading out to other servers.

Personally I started out on the Beehaw server but they had some rules I didn't like so then I found another server.

Tell those instances to stop censoring other instances and it'll be ok.

When looking through the list of other servers, one thing I noticed is that a lot where in languages I don't know.

Honestly, I was just trying to look for the most general instance possible.

[–] lntl@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

Other servers are snappier than lemmy.ml
