They literally just post celebrities there like all day. It’s so creepy

This. You see the goid stuff only if you log in. If you don’t log in it should be a rather safe for work. Although probably super creepy at work
I know there is much worst, but I find it so freaking creepy, it’s a part of internet I never really saw before
I feel like having a preference kind of defeats the point?
I thought they were supposed to be interchangeable?
It’s the communities yours supposed to care about.
I don’t really understand this either. I only have 1 account on Lemmy.world. I can see why some people have a backup. For me, it doesn’t seem necessary unless I’m missing something. If the server goes down temporarily, I’m fine with just waiting for it to come back. If it goes down permanently, then I’ll go ahead and create an account on another server.
The instance preference can be important if you look at the Local Communities timeline. Niche instances will usually have more communities relevant to that niche. However, with current user distribution most users are either on Lemmy.world or Lemmy.ml.
A Federated space where this more apparent is on Mastodon. I joined SFBA,social because it is local to me (San Francisco Bay Area, California, US). The Local Timeline is all users on the instance. As a good proportion of them are from the area I can learn about local events/projects/news.
https://lemmy.ml They defederated from Threads, as everyone should do. I was there to see how Google fucked up XMPP via EEE when they joined that federation. Meta is doing the same.
I moved to lemmy.ml from lemmy.world when lemmy.world didn’t act on this. There’s no room for corporations in the fediverse.
Fuck Lemmygrad, loud authoritarians. There’s no room for dictators on the fediverse.
That’s lemmygrad.ml, not lemmy.ml. Don’t confuse things.
Also, I would take an alive fediverse and some communities I can ignore and not subscribe to than a dead fediverse in the hands of the corporations. See what Google did to XMPP. See reddit. See twitter. See threads…

Does anyone know how to block instances from showing up in your feed? The lemmygrad stuff is one of the instances I’d love to not see.
You can’t block instances, only admins can do that
lemmy.ca should be mentioned. It’s like midwest.social, super chill…
Lemm.ee, quick, responsive and just works.
midwest.social
midwest.social gang here as well. I don’t think there is really a best instance though. Midwest.social works for me, because I’m…. Midwest.
Cool servers: mander.xyz, thegarden.land, lemmy.radio.
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.
Link to sh.itjust.works
http://mander.xyz if you like science.
lemmy.ml looks cool, I couldn’t create an account with them recently but I had a two year old account with a federated site that should work iirc.
