I'm from feddit.nu, the swedish instance. Or at least one of them, there might be more swedish instances I am not aware of. I like it because I can find local content and post in swedish.

I think everyone should aim to find a smaller instance where they feel like they belong to and create their account there.

There's no reason to have a federated system if everyone uses the same 3 large instances.

Came from lemmy.world to unilem.org and am enjoying it so far. They are stating they wont defederate

Why are all the answers here from FMHY? It was like 20th on the list in terms of popularity when I joined. I chose it because it had fewer restrictions - users can create their own communities and, most importantly, downvote (the chart I looked at said some didn’t have downvotes??). Also I assume pirates know how to run a server.

Yeah same, I'm from FMHY as well and I'm really confused as to why everyone is saying FMHY.

I picked it because I skipped over the first couple large communities looking for smaller ones that allowed everything. Didn't really care about the piracy aspect at all.

I’m starting to feel we should delete this whole thread and replace it with how much FMHY sucks and is the worst instance ever the admins are literal trash pandas please don’t come here. I like it small.

How do you do that? Thought that's something that the instance owner sets up (whether or not our instance can communicate with others)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't do anything

Think something is wrong, why do only fmhy users see this and no one else?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fmhy. For one thing, most of my reddit usage was related to Linux, datahoarding, self hosting, and torrenting. So coming here is the natural choice. The great thing about us pirates is that we aren't hated by very many people (and therefore aren't banned by the big instances), aren't generally extremists, and yet strongly support free speech. In fact, one of the only major instances to allow nsfw content at all and to not defederate a whole bunch of instances for no apparent reason

It's also one of the biggest instances still accepting new accounts, aside from lemmy.world, which is too big
