I’m just asking for recommendations in case, I feel like migrating to a smaller instance or maybe try kbin for a change (but I’ll miss the voyager web app)
Removed by mod
Many thanks. May I also ask if there is an alternate frontend client or perhaps an android app for kbin ?

FYI fedia.io currently has a double comments issue that they are looking into.
Well, you can try mine, https://lemmings.world. It’s federated with the bigger instances so you won’t miss any content. It’s well maintained and supported. And I plan on maintaining it long-term. Also it has Lemmings in the name.
I was going to suggest yours!
If you want a tiny instance, the one I’m on is https://rabbitea.rs
Definitely checking this out.
Also it has lemming in the name. :) love it.
sh.itjust.works is pretty popular.
Not a small instance. It has over 20,000 users.
How many are active?
453 daily users according to their sidebar.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure what OP meant by “small.” I mean, it’s user base is less than a fifth the size of .world, so maybe it counts.
How are you defining “good” here? Off the top of my head I would say
- lemm.ee
- lemmy.sdf.org
- lemmy.one
- sh.itjust.works
This is a great list of general-purpose sort of “next step down in size from lemmy.world”-instances.
Well, by “good” I meant general purpose, no NSFW, federates with bigger instances, consitent uptime … etc.
My instance (https://lemmings.world) fits most of that!
- general purpose
- federates with bigger instances (I even have a bot running that’s subscribing to popular communities across Lemmy instances so the All feed is full of content and really comparable to the biggest instances)
- consistent uptime (I have 100% according to lemmyverse.net and 98.93% according to fediverse observer)
- the only criteria that doesn’t fit is that I allow NSFW, but it has to be clearly tagged as NSFW, meaning you can simply disable NSFW on your profile
Hey, OP here. Just joined your instance.
Quick question… What do people usually do when they have accounts in multiple instances ?
Glad to see you here!
Well, depends on if you want to use the other account or not. I had an account on lemmy.world very briefly and I simply don’t use it anymore. I didn’t delete it in case I need it for some testing, but I don’t use it.
Generally I’d say people use their app to login to multiple accounts? I know Liftoff (which I use) can do it, though I don’t use the feature very much. I think I’ve read some apps can merge the feeds from all your accounts into one, though I don’t know which (maybe even Liftoff can do it, I really don’t know).
So probably lemm.ee and lemmy.sdf.org over the other two, then.
Scroll to the bottom, tap instances, look around.
The one I’m on is really good. There’s been technical difficulties, but the admin is great.
Tried lemmy.world and lemmy.one but they were both down frequently last week. Bounced to lemm.ee and it’s been great so far. The admin is knowledgeable and cares about hosting.
lemmy.world is more often down than not
This is not true. C’mon.
Does it go down? Yes. Annoying. Has it been down longer than it’s been up? Of course not.

Then get the fuck out of here and don’t come back. Geez. What’s the point of the fediverse if you’re going to whine like a little redditor?
They are probably doing the best they can do…
They really, really are not - from a technical or social lens. I remember an admin coming into a conversation to shut down comments and telling everybody to be nice to the nazis we were dunking on, or else.
They’re Spez - cryptofascists posing as liberals to create a captive audience they can push into the right wing pipeline.
Good Lord, the name definitely checks out with you doesn’t it?
I am not, in fact, CM Punk, no
Imagine “u mad bro lol”ing someone talking about fucking nazis
At least it’s a motivator to diversify to smaller instances.
DDOS attacks have been hitting fediverse sights. LW is combating it. Once they lock it down the DDOS attacks will turn to the smaller servers.
If only lemmy.world would invest into something like stormwall, ddos-guard or nexuspipe. Cloudflare is complete dogshit against most modern ddos attacks (unfortunately).

I just opened an account at https://sh.itjust.works after lemmy.world admins went berserk today. So far so good.
What did they do?
Seems super reasonable to me.
At first glace, sure, but when you look into it deeper it’s a cowardly move. For one, Hexbear made it perfectly clear they expect their users to abide by the rules of the instances they visit and not cause trouble. Also,
“Defederation should only be considered as a last resort . . . We made the decision to preemptively defederate”
Along with their stated goal to (emphasis mine)
Provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all members; regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, political affiliation, or other similar characteristic. Human comes first.
Not to mention how long they dragged their heels defederating from the fascists at exploding heads yet are preemptively defederating from hexbear. And to top it all off there’s loads of comments calling hexbear users “Russian bot farms” and “a cesspool for genocidal lunatics.” The whole thing is ignorant as hell.
On the other hand it was enough to convince me to switch away from lemmy.world, so there’s that.
Meh. Sounds like a bunch of tankie bullshit.
Do you think they’re crypto fash? I’ve really been getting that impression
There’s quite a lot, you can check out join-lemmy.org for a solid list. Mine is open as well, but reading/writing isn’t everyones thing
Fediverse.observer is a good resource for sorting through and finding different instances for all types of activitypub platforms. There are pages for Lemmy and Kbin among plenty of others. That’s how I found the instance I’m currently on, and I’m pretty happy with it.
I’ve been enjoying Lemmy.blahaj.zone, though it’s more niche given that it’s an instance for trans people
Was on world but then created same account name on sopuli.xyz and not had a single down moment since.
Good is subjective, given I can see all of the same content, and more.
Also far fewer issues since I don’t have to support 100k users here.
I have my tiny instance that currently has 4 users, with me being the most active. I update Lemmy regularly, upgrade and manage resources as needed, and even do server management via my phone when I need to. Federated with all of the big ones so there’s no lack in content and I’m always scouring for new communities to sub to. The only rule I have (aside from the ones stated in the rules page) is no NSFW. It’s mostly a CYA measure for myself.
Plus it has a fun URL!
In what country is lemm.ee hosted?
