I’m partial to the one where sh.itjust.works
This is a certified sh.ithead moment
Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.
And we have a handful of large communities.
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.
That’s because you’re a user on our instance.
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!
So far I like it. And lemmy world. But are my go to.

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.
I like lemm.ee a lot, it’s very fast and stable.
That’s easy: Lemmy.ninja! Small, nimble, active, and awesome!
Edit: It occurs to me I should probably list some more reasons why Lemmy.ninja is so awesome:
- 100.00% uptime!
- Certified spambot-free
- We work every day to help new users learn the ropes of Lemmy and find content on your instances to subscribe to
- We have strict but fair rules
- We’re never satisfied with the site and always work to improve it
Pull up a list of Lemmy instances with 100% uptime. That’s not a big list. Look for a location in the U.S. you find an even smaller list. And if your monolingual and speak English bestest… well, then you’re in the realm of a vary small list indeed.
lemmy.ninja is second on that list for size AND speed of growth. Plus, where else are you going to find communities that teach you how to use the Fediverse to your advantage? Drop by and subscribe to the boomer shooter community… We all know they did it right in lo-fi…
Bragging about speed and uptime is a double edged sword. It will make you popular, and then you’re going to have the same scaling and DDOS attack issues as the other big communities.
I’m looking for US based to avoid them. Why on earth would I want to be on an instance that’s exposed to their government requests?
