    Lemmy.ca is the best. Large local instance, great uptime, good admins.

    And we have a handful of large communities.

    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.

      Agreed! Admittedly I am quite biased as I am an Admin, but I really enjoy the little community we hae going at lemm.ee :)

    I’m pretty new to the fediverse, but I haven’t been too negatively impacted by lemmy.world’s issues, especially in the last few weeks since the performance issues were solved.

    I wouldn’t be against setting up another acct on a smaller instance, but I don’t want to have to maintain two sets of sfw subscriptions. If there could be a service to sync your subscriptions between instances I’d be all over it.

    I’m on feddit.de - I was on lemmy.ml before but unfortunately the default instance is getting hammered pretty hard both by real users and apparently also DDOS attacks now.

    Feddit.de is hosted close to me and therefore very quick and also reliable. It’s one of the biggest lemmy instances but small enough to be well moderated.

    Small ones with 100% uptime and a handful of users who don’t interact with each other.

    Definitely sh.itjust.works. The largest instance that defederates with the fewest other instances (though they could still do better here - there’s no reason to defederate either exploding-heads or lemmygrad), no email required on sign up, and a super chill vibe.

      I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.

      I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

      I know both have very subjective ways to measure the metrics, but still, there must be some sort of answer.

        I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.

        Almost definitely beehaw

        I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

        Probably exploding-heads. If not, then lemmygrad.
