What are some smaller Lemmy / Kbin instances that are just as good as lemmy.world (lemmy.world)

I'm just asking for recommendations in case, I feel like migrating to a smaller instance or maybe try kbin for a change (but I'll miss the voyager web app)

Well, you can try mine, https://lemmings.world. It's federated with the bigger instances so you won't miss any content. It's well maintained and supported. And I plan on maintaining it long-term. Also it has Lemmings in the name.

I was going to suggest yours!

If you want a tiny instance, the one I'm on is https://rabbitea.rs

I just finished migrating over to your instance from lemmy.world. I'm liking what I see. Everything seems nice & snappy. (One suggestion: consider turning on email verification to shut down potential bot accounts a bit more thoroughly)

It takes a bit more effort to setup your subscribed /c's on a smaller instance (if you're the first on the instance to sub to a /c, you need to already know the address for it). But once you're subbed to everything you want, it's business as usual. And without constant downtimes!

(EDIT: Had to log in to my old .world account to find this post to comment on it, since I had it bookmarked here)

consider turning on email verification

That's been on my todo list for a while. Though I have crafted some SQL queries that help me with finding bots, until I have time for the email stuff I think I got this covered (even though it takes more time).

If you have any questions or anything else to add about the instance, feel free to reach me!
