Following the spirit of spreading across the Fediverse (and because my main instance is down so many times, because diverse reasons) I’m intrigued about the joining instance process, because I honestly don’t know what criteria to have in order to join another one if I ever want to do it.
That made me curious of how you decided to join?
I firstly join to lemmy.fmhy.ml thanks to Spez and a Reddit post from FMHY subreddit, then the tragedy occurred, then I joined to lemmy.world which is/was my main one because I pictured it like a good home, then lemmy.fmhy.net revived and I am with them too, but seems like they are in a bit of trouble with the server, finally now I am in lemm.ee, but only because I just wanted another backup, not because I searched for it especially (also it was mentioned in a comment about smaller instances and one user from here throw a joke to not join here because it sucks so that way the server would be more stable, so yeah, I joined).
To be clear I am not in search for yet another instance (that sounds like a good instance name to be fair), I just want to know how the deciding process is for you, is it just random? Is it because of personal tastes?
I couldn’t care less about NSFW stuff, I don’t search for it specifically, but my day won’t be ruined if I see a tit.
I like gaming, tech, Linux, SBC gaming, emulation, macOS, Android stuff etc (yeah how original) should I look for an instance dedicated to that if I ever want to join yet another one? Because I see topics like this in almost any instance.
I read you lemmings!
EDIT: BTW the migration process has been easier for me thanks to LASIM, so I wouldn’t be scared if I ever want/have to migrate again.

I was on lemmygrad at first but then they banned me for being a liberal so now I’m on hexbear
Youre better off. Lemmygrad is like 90% Russian propagandists. Dudes think editing a commercial to whiten skin tone is the same as genociding children.
Reminds me of late stage 4chan and r/the_donald
I fucking love comments like this from people who have no clue that hexbear is mostly ideologically alligned with lemmygrad and then get dunked on for it. Here’s a quote for you from a super scary man named Mao that you should learn to take to heart so you don’t get dunked on like this (emphasis mine):
I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK
Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
It won’t do!
It won’t do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!

So? I call out hexbear for being shitty in its own way too.
Just because one site is clearly a Russian psy-op doesn’t mean the people who fell for the psy-op are in the same group.
Its funny you think there is some nuance im missing, but as is typical for the group in here triggered by my callout, you can’t actually state the problem.
You have to shit on some theoretical point that nobody made.
sure thing, you definitely made that comment knowing what hexbear was. If you thought hexbear was really that shitty, you wouldn’t have said it’s better to be on there than on lemmygrad??? They literally post more news about the conflict than lemmygrad does, absolutely baffling behavior to say that lemmygrad is the psyop and not hexbear (it’s delusional to say it’s a psyop either way)
You could just read the older comments where I discussed hexbear?
Cope dumbass.
It takes all of 10 minutes to open up lemmygrad, see disinformation campaigns such as titling a sub Ukraine war news then trying to fill it with news on NATO being the cause of the war.
I did, you posted in their games comm, made that dumbass response in this thread, started getting shit on, then you started shitting on hexbear, pretty clear timeline of events for me
What? Lol you have a whole headcannon to lean on as a coping mechanism
I guess if you’re just going to make shit up there is no point in further engagement
Im a communist
I am also a communist but I don’t want to be on a widely defederated server.
that’s totally valid! I spend 95% of my time on lemmygrad (and now hexbear) comms anyways, so it doesn’t really matter to me other than being annoying when I have to make sure I’m not wasting my time commenting something to a user of a defederated instance
This was recommended when I made my account. There weren’t any regional communities for where I’m from, so Finland seems as good a choice as any.
I’m not sure I made an informed decision, but if there are real downsides to my choice I haven’t noticed them yet. I seem to be able to see the things I want to. I have to use the block button liberally, but I can’t see that being instance related. It’s largely due to using All at times, and not having strong enough tagging/filtering tools to make that workable without blocking tons of communities that are fine, but not for me.
Because it has a tank logo
