Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

    Pretty good, it’s my Reddit replacement (except for Google searches where I still put site:reddit.com, searching Lemmy doesn’t work that well…).

    Choosing an instance sucked though.

    I went like:

    1. sh.itjust.works: Found out they’re Canadian, the latency was too much for Europe
    2. lemmy.ml: Overall pretty good, I liked that NSFW instances were defederated, so I could browse All without seeing porn. Till I realized there is a slur filter that censors your comments and others. So if someone calls you a ‘bitch’ on the Fediverse everyone can read it, except you. You see ‘removed’
    3. lemmy.world: Largest instance, plenty of local content, good policies overall, but the stability was awful (due to DDOS)
    4. lemmy.zip: Smaller instance, full federation, super fast and in the EU, I’m staying there for now and moved all my subscriptions and blocked communities (mostly porn, again, I like to browse All) over
