Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.
And we have a handful of large communities.
Thanks for the kind words. We try our best, and we owe a lot to @smorks@lemmy.ca for setting the right tone got the instance to start with!
I like how their admins still show up as Admins even when commenting on a post on another instance. At least in voyager they do.
Honestly probably a bug, but it’s cool.
I’m partial to the one where sh.itjust.works
What’s the last instance anyone would want to defederate from? The instance which deals the most with troubleshooting technical problems. programming.dev has a lot of technical communities and also a lot of users who answer technical questions.
I also like the local experience on programming.dev. If the instance is too small, local feels empty. But, on the other hand, a lot of large instances have local feeds which are just like the all feed. I feel like programming.dev has a good balance of a distinctive yet active local feed.
There’s no place like localhost.
