silly judgemental post not meant to be taken too seriously (unless you agree with me in which case im dead serious)
What are some alternatives people suggest?
https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
This page lists all instances but also recommends some random ones with medium userbase and high uptimes. The idea of Lemmy is that users are spread out. Lemmy.world is massively inflated with users.
I like sh.itjust.works because it has the best name. Also the admins seem cool.
I’m quite fond of this one. Admin is easily reachable and reasonable IME.
yeah and we get to have profile pics and pictures in comments, which isn’t on instances like lemm.ee
You can have pictures in comments, just not hosted on lemm.ee. Proof:
Image uploads have always been size-limited on lemm.ee because sunaurus anticipated it becoming an issue, if you were planning on using lemm.ee as an image host you were on the wrong instance in the first place when he shut uploading down completely. What you do get with lemm.ee is everything else being snappy.
I have embedded photos though. I’ve used them from time to time. Dunno about profile pics
