Yep! I added wefwef to my home screen where Apollo was (still installed but moved to an honoring folder). My workflow and habits are now unchanged and I feel like I’m on reddit, only federated. 🙂
I wanted an instance that was popular but not #1 to avoid slowdowns. Chose lemmy.world. Now it's most popular...made an account on thelemmy.club today
The migration of a certain subreddit I followed over here led me to this instance so here I am.
Beehaw isn't as well known in general. It's always the third one mentioned when discussing Lemmy or Kbin.
And Lemmy.ml has been banning people for criticizing China, so...yeah, no one outside of extremist types want to be a part of that.
I switched to this instance, because lemmy.ml was just too laggy. Also I use mastodon.world so I knew it's a good instance.
It might be completely false but i read that there were many tankies on other instances. One thing that got in the way of competitors in the past was the high number of extreme right wing people. My take is that people would rather not associate with either.
For me it was the fact I kept mistyping the url as lm instead of .ml You know, LeMmy dot LM After nth time making this mistake, I decided to switch to something easier to remember.
