Yeah it was sad seeing Kbin fall apart, tried Mbin and it’s great but doesn’t have the same feel in some ways sadly, Maybe the project could get a heart and grow in there own direction in the future as there’s so many things they could do to become a great all around Instance but heard amazing things about Piefed and it’s on the list of Software I hope to visit and try out in the near future.

Hey if you find a good instance that is centered around what you enjoy amazing.

It’s a big bonus if it doesn’t have people fighting all the time.

A good local feed is always helpful. Though I’ve resorted more to the Global as of late as run my own instances and often don’t invite to many people.

Are you planning on keeping all three or are you planning on dropping say Lemmy for Piefed as they do the same things?

Glad you finally got onto the Instance, what made you choose Lemmy over Mbin or Piefed?

How come you are using multiple instances? Is it due to the different interfaces?

I know I run this and a few other accounts from a Sharkey (Microblogging) Instance, from here I get to do most things including post things up on Lemmy & Piefed with just mentioning the Community in the post.

Wafrn is an interesting one, only just started to look into it but it looks like it has some promise to be a Tumblr like experience on the Fediverse.

This is something I’ve been trying to solve, well our social.fedicate.org instance is currently invite only we hope that we can open it up to registrations in the future. We are currently settings things up to set things up correctly as the break3.social instance (the one this account users) is a business instance for projects and other stuff mainly worked on by @sam

Hopefully we see more Sharkey instance that are english based in the future as I know a good few that are english based are Trans / LGBT based what I don’t think is your cup of tea (or it might be I don’t know)

Fair enough, do you think that the main piefed instance is good enough or do you think you’d move to a different instances in the future but stay with the piefed software?

I find that keeping the Fediverse open to others as much as possible is a really helpful thing instead of De-Federating on the first little bad message from a user that probably got missed or is being dealt with by the system admin.

Do you feel you will change in the future?

I know there’s been an okay amount of people that have said about how they moved from Lemmy World due to moderation over reach along with often being de-federated from other instances on bias’ (I have no evidence of this, just comments from others to this post)

What’s that policy? Very open or very closed?

Heard pretty good things about Piefed, never have been able to try it out myself yet but it’s on the list of things to try out.

Always helpful to have instances that are local based even if they are still on the smaller side. If anything the better for the admins

So what makes lemmy.zip better than running your own instance? I know there’s plenty of benefits for people joining things like Lemmy World if you want a very restricted environment but what does lemmy.zip have over running your own instance?

Having admins that tell you what’s going on is so helpful. Also yes having a balance between online life and real life is really good to have. Well I still like having my servers there for me and others when it’s needed it’s nice to know you are finding a silver-lining in it sometimes going down for maintenance and other things.

@dsilverz@calckey.world What’s the benefits of sticking with Calckey over something like Sharkey or another Misskey Fork? As from my research I can find Calckey has had 2 years since the last update to the code, is it even being maintained anymore?

Also agree with you fully, the features of a Misskey Fork is so amazing to have with the 3k character limit and utility with the custom emojis and other features are a god send.

Kbin had it’s upsides but yeah glad Mbin is here to carry on it’s legacy in some sort of way. Just sucks it doesn’t connect with Mastodon and Lemmy apps as it’ll solve some of the issues.

lemmy.world seems to be a good default at the moment.

That’s a good combo, especially local content. Do you ever find the local content gets lost?

So what made you pick the same instance and username (+1)? Would it not have been okay to stay on the same account?

That’s such a out of the way thing the admins done for you. It seems like sh.itjust.works is a fairly decent place for Lemmy users to go from what I’ve seen so far.
