What are your criteria for choosing an instance other than Lemmy.world?
Hello everyone,
Based on the recent instability of Lemmy.world, a lot of people have been wondering whether they should move to another instance.
I used to look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list and recommend people to pick a generalist instance with as much users as possible (using the 1m column), usually
Would you recommend users to join those as well, assuming that the admins use the LCS to populate the All feed? Most of us remember the Vlemmy.net disappearance, and it's difficult to tell users to join small instances based on good faith, but at the same time, every instance needs to start somewhere, and they should be given a chance.
I made my first account on aussie.zone since I'm Australian but wanted access to Lemmygrad, and now Hexbear. Aussie.zone is great apart from that, I'd love a local feed full of Australian stuff.
