i went regional for a friendly region in my main language. It has a comunity for pudus which gives it extra points tbh. !pudu@feddit.cl if interested.

I'm new to it all so I registered on lemmy.world and subscribed to several communities. I also registered and subscribed to the same communities on lemmy.ee. When lemmy.world is down, I use lemmy.ee, but those subscribed communities that are local on lemmy.world are no longer accessible. I thought communities synced over instances so if an instance goes down, communities are still accessable. Is this not true?

Well I'm running my own no.lastname.nz

Just like @frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz it is mostly just myself that uses it, but reg is open. Admined from New Zealand and the server is in Australia

Stability – So, uptime and rate at which it updates with Lemmy.

Moderation – One or two good Admins at least to keep things running smoothly and communicate with us Lemmings effectively, and have a decent ruleset.

Federation – Wide enough that I can get the content I'm looking for whilst (likely) not dealing with nutjobs.

The rest is all good, the federated nature of everything means I don't really need to be where the communities I use the most are.

I was on lemmy.world but after admin made executive decision to defederate from hexbear I bailed to lemmygrad. No time for powertripping mods

The reason I picked sh.itjust.works has my backup. Because I only heard good things about them. My main is lemmy.world.

I've just got one criteria: I host 😀

For me, I would want to to federate and not be defederated by with Lemmygrad and Hexbear, while also having the same for things like aussie.zone, pathfinder.social, slrpnk.net, and the larger instances so I can pick out good communities from them. Stability matters more than size for me, I have no issues with the all feed and actually have had to block some communities due to spam or lack of interest as it is.

Also, is it the case that it only shows communities someone is subscribed to in all, or is it discovered communities?

definitely worth taking a look at different instances stance on defederation. after the whole ordeal with lemmy.world defederating with hexbear prematurely its worth taking the time to find an instance that aligns with your ideals and won't remove communities you may find valuable. I personally dont align with hexbear's politics but I think that its important to have an open federation policy.

General-purpose Lemmy instance. New users and communities welcome! Has upvoting and downvoting. Also, federated with most instances.

Did not know about that seeder. Super useful tool! Thanks for sharing.

Anywhere not banning lemmygrad is probably an OK place.

Everyone else, if not purely technical instances, are mostly replicating politics in a way that hurts humanity as a whole.

I usually use my lemmy.world account, but with the recent downtimes there, I've been using my alt account more. I choose this one because it's somewhat local to me, and it's nice to be able to see more somewhat local news and info.
