I might get hate because of my instance here, but in an attempt to better understand Lemmy I’m wondering if some of you can shed a light on why you chose this instance, what’s great about it, what could be better, is the instance rivalries something that affects your use of the platform or is it just background noise?

I’m not trying to start a fight or mud slinging, it would be good if several people could say their piece and nobody shame or attack them for it no matter how much you disagree.

it's one of the "official" ones being supported by lemmy developers, otherwise i don't really feel the difference. anything is better over the shithole that was reddit.

i guess there's more marxists on .ml, but i don't read the instance the comment is from on purpose; that's irrelevant to me.

It's a Lemmy server where you can talk about any brand of cat food that interests you. I love the smell of freedom in the morning.

I think they managed to anger 3 different instances at the same time. If they weren't doing such terrible comments would almost be impressive

It shows fediverse content.

it's the instance made by lemmy developers, i don't think they host any third party frontend

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I still don't understand what that means. I don't know what instance/s I use. I don't know how to use a different one. I don't know how to properly search across instances. I barely understand that an instance means something technical with accessing stuff.
