with the LEMMY.EE coming to an end there definitely will be multiple accts to diff instances just in case one gets offed again. definitely avoid the the triad of tankie instances, plus some that pretty political views, unless your into that kind of thing.

the one I'm on is pretty nice
i seconed this
Discuss.online is pretty awesome. 🤓
Second this 😀
@[email protected] has been doing an awesome job of running it, and also created Sublinks as a Lemmy alternative
My recommendation would be to find a local instance - one that's closest to you - and sign up for that. I'm not in Atlanta, but I am in Georgia, so I signed up for the yall.theatl.social instance (the server is in Atlanta), and I couldn't be happier. It's a smaller instance, but I converse regularly with the admins when I have a question or a problem, and they are accessible and always open to suggestions.
I like it so much that I also use the theatl.social Mastodon instance as my main Mastodon as well. I throw them a few bucks every month to help with costs, and I'm happy to do it.
I would agree with those who say smaller instances are the way to go.
Yeah. Smaller instances for sure. I’m in Canada so I went with lemmy.ca and I’ve never had any issues and everything is just peachy 😌
You dont need to limit yourself to just one, feel free to diversify your presence.
But for a real answer: The smaller ones; The smaller the more respecfull they feel.
Though more users does demonstrate capabilities. Not every server is fast or stable.
You might like https://piefed.social/.

- You can individually block any (whole) instance, community, users and linked domains. You can also filter the keywords,
- Any much-downvoted user will appear with red warning sign
Does piefed have an android app?
There is Interstellar, which I'm using right now.
Since you mention you have no real opinions about lemm.ee. You were just on there by chance.
I’ll propose you the style of blahaj which is to have downvotes disabled, its quite a different way to interact with lemmy, maybe a bit weird to get used to. But it feels much less hostile. And it fosters a good culture of just ignoring shitty takes and replies.
As far as “no extremes” you mentioned you prefer, blahaj blocks lemmygrad and hexbear (ultra authoritarians) and any far right instance (think hilariouschaos)
Pawb.Social 😋
