I heard once that the case for which instance (for any federated app, be it Lemmy or Mastodon etc) on which to sign up is to choose based on “administration” not subject. That is to say, it is better to experience the fediverse through moderation and other administrative decisions than it is to do so on a server that is “subject based.” Thoughts?

    Also a good point. I had an instance crash and burn without warning. It was only a backup login, which was more open but still, all the info has gone.

    Most instances that shut down were small ones that didn’t grow.
