Does anyone know about the culture of different Lemmy instances?

I saw in this post that the culture between instances can vary quite a bit: https://lemmy.ca/post/40916774

What are the differences between the major instances?

For work browsing safety, my strategy is to use two instances:

  • lemm.ee – because it doesn’t allow pornographic content.
  • lemmynsfw.com – for anything I wish to subscribe to that falls into the opposite category.

Thanks, I'll be referencing this in the future.

this has a more comprehensive list: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

and nearly all of them will have a paragraph or 2 summarizing the instance.

And then there's my instance:

  • sh.itjust.works - pretty chill, and things tend to work pretty well

I'm not sure what else to say about the culture.

/me notes the commenter's home instance and concludes there is no point in arguing about this very biased take...
