I really liked shitjustworks but once I found sdf I loved it more both are good though

The only difference is the administration of the instance (their activeness, beliefs and how they choose to moderate), what instances they federated or defederated with (like hexbear and lemmygrad), and what features they've chosen to implement or not (like downvotes). For casual use, it probably doesn't make a difference.

I'm just now realizing my primary account is here on .ee as well. I have one with lemmy.one and midwest.social but I'll probably make a new one somewhere else like dbzero unless they're still federated with hexbear since .one doesn't use downvotes and I have constant connection issues with midwest.social.

This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.

@Anyone: please let me know if I'm wrong about these and if there's a solution, but as far as I can see:

• I can't export my account (most importantly all the posts and comments I've saved).
• It's difficult to find where a server is based.
• Some instances seem to be solo hobby projects. I don't want to pick another instance that is at risk of being killed.

Lemmy.world is the largest instance, for what it’s worth.
