alternatives to lemm.ee?
(lemm.ee)
If you want a similar approach to lemm.ee for defederation:
I’d stay away from Lemmy.today until they start to deal with obvious spammers on their instance.
One four-day old account there has almost five hundred posts last time I checked, which is more then a post every six minutes.
This is exactly what I was hoping to find. I typically browse through all and picked lemm.ee for their moderation style.
I'm sad to see it go.
I think both of those are perfect suggestions. Being a huge nerd with a strong moral compass, zip seemed to be one of the more similar to lemm.ee. I also heard piefed has some good policies and features!!
Thanks for the links!
Why both of them blocked lemm.ee lol.
They did not, you're looking at linked instances

Since the announcement thread is locked, thanks to the admins for their hard work.
I've moved to https://piefed.social/ - I really like the ability there to subscibe to whole topics rather than individual communities. But I'll miss lemm.ee's defederation policy.
Lemmy clients won't work there?
I am out of the loop with piefed (I don't even know if it is another Lemmy instance, it seems it is lol).
I am too attached to Summit and Voyager to stop using Lemmy at all.
It's a totally different project with a different codebase, but is Lemmy/activitypub compatible. Currently only one app supports it (interstellar), but more are coming (thunder).

I chose lemmy.blahaj.zone since most of the communities I participate in are there and they have been nothing but kind to me. I highly recommend it for other queer people who want to have a peaceful community free of transphobia.
no Voyager, no deal. end of story. not changing apps again, it's the whole damn reason I'm on this site to begin with. piefed is worthless to me right now.

If you're considering non-Lemmy instances, then I can recommend kbin.earth, it's a MBin instance that has a similar approach to the defederation
In general, while it's already huge, sh.itjust.works errs on the side of careful defederation. Afaik, none of the big instances are defederated at all.
It's pretty stable too. I think it's been down maybe twice for any significant length of time.
That's the two biggest factors in why it's where my main account is.
So, it's an option for sure.
A friend of mine is on lemdro.id, and he's able to reach all the usual instances. Same with dbzero, though they have a bit more focused set of policies. Both are very stable as well.
About the only instance that you'll run into trouble accessing from most is hexbear or whatever it's called now. All the other big/biggish ones are usually not defederated widely.
Hexbear is still called that. They were able to recover their domain after all. By my calculations, they appear to be in the top 10 largest lemmy instances by MAU, top 5 by number of accounts, and number 2 lemmy instance by number of posts, out of the regular user-driven (not automated cross-posting) instances, behind only lemmy.world.
Good to know.
I really appreciate how well-ran piefed.social is!
lemm.ee was the best and why i stayed on lemmy. this stinks. but so long and thanks for all the fish
Seems pretty prone to defederating other instances.
It defederated from Hexbear at least, so yes. I absolutely love that instance - I whole-heartedly recommend the admin team there, but if someone is looking for federation with instances such as that one, that is not what it is about.
It is a fantastic recommendation to make to someone coming in from Reddit.
