Content? Politics? Community? A cool integration you're looking for? Maybe even a cool domain name? I'm not looking for tips as an instance owner, lol; I'm just curious.

Edit: I've gotten a lot of push factors, what about pull factors?

So historically I chose kbin over lemmy because I liked the features better and once I was on I like how passionate and productive earnest was with it. Once he left it kinda left mbin so I went to an instance that was philosophically don't block anything or defederate at the instance level unless necessary (legal) but mbin compared to kbin was kinda maintenance mode. piefed came up with the same kinda energy as kbin and that is what got me to move to that and .social was kinda the main instance. I have toyed with moving to an instance that is more default allow everything but its kinda tough mainly because what is limited is stuff I would block as a user anyway more than likely. So the only reason to really go is strictly philosophical. I want it to be me who does it or at least have everything easily reversible at the user level. Then also I think an anime instance has communities that are private so you can only get them if you are on it. Not sure if other instances have things like that. nsfw is kinda tempting as I really would prefer more in my all thread. Nice to see boobies here or there and if anything is to gross just block the communities. I don't scroll at work though.
