Wow, things have changed since I last posted in /c/fediverse. Here are the top five most active instances based on monthly active users:
Oh boy, I can't wait until everyone defederares from us too. /s
Can We Not !
clap
Another mega-instance is formed, with lots of people grouped together, to make a big target.
Perhaps one day, everyone will discover what "Federated" means.
I switched from lemmy.world to the one I'm on right now. Runs smoothly, and there are like a dozen of us, lmao.
So if you're looking for a small instance that just runs smoothly, come say hi.
It is good for the threadiverse
is there a way to transfer my account to another instance? lemmy.world for me is unreliable and slow :/
No, but there are tools that can automatically copy over your subscribed communities.
I made one such tool!

I know there's also a python script out there and a new Android app that has active syncing. I don't have links handy to those on mobile.
You lose comment history and all that jazz too but it's better than nothing. I'm not sure if devs plan to implement a way to do it but it's one of the reasons I decided to roll my own instance. Nothing more frustrating than using someone else's and losing access while they take days to get it back up.
They're quick when it comes to defederating lefties. Not so much with toxic right wingers.
In all seriousness though, some apps copy subbed communities. Having a backup lemmy is useful.
Damn it, I chose lemm.ee as my backup account (primary is lemmy.world) as it wasn't the number two...
Nice! The only issue is the extremely small size limit of images, but still a great instance
I really wish they would increase the image size to at least 200 or 300kb to fit larger images. You can get around it by using external image hosting but you can't do that for banners and profiles.
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it's related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
