Title says it all!? I’m a reddit refuge and picked this instance because it’s A) Canadian (I’m in MN, so consider myself an honorary Canadian), and B) The clean energy thing.

Applied to Beehaw but never heard back. Dittos on Lemmy.ML!

So hoping this is going to be a great “home” away from Reddit for the foreseeable future.

Cheers, and well done on the instance, admins!

Hey those are the reasons I signed up. It’s less canada-centric than lemmy.ca. Beeshaw and lemmy.ml are at high capacity rn, it’s important to spread new users over multiple servers so welcome!

Lemmy.ml bans you for criticizing the ccp and personally don’t like beehaw because admins decided to make subs and run them.

i didn’t realize that would be an issue for people. I’ve seen these instances more like the PHPBB forums from the days before the big services took over.

I thought the idea with lemmy was that the instances would tend to be grouped by topic/area so it makes sense that the people running a tech instance would also be involved in creating/running the tech communities on that instance. Some are more purpose-built than others tho.

mine is purpose built and I simply created the communities to match the flair we were using. Does seem like all the instances may need to make more docs on hows and whys of what they are and thier goals.

mine is pretty obv, big ol INTEGRATED AI at the top and pictures of robots!

even back then though, everyone had a shitpost lounge.

I’m not a user on this instance, but from what I can tell, shit just kinda works over here.

I recently switched from lemmy.ml to here. It just seems to be snappy and always up when I use the site. Lemmy.ml, on the other hand, is down frequently due to the high traffic and otherwise slow to load for me.

This instance does what it says on the tin. Shit just works over here.

I signed up here because of the clean energy thing and because the rules seemed chill enough
