I don’t want you near my instance if you’re gonna abbreviate “account” like that. Just keep your distance there, friend.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Kind of depends on the topic you want to post about. If you wanna post about books go to literature.cafe for example. There are some of these specific instances
I jumped to piefed a couple of weeks ago. Copying my feeds from lemmy was fine (also grabbed pugJesus' to round out the collection.) I liked the topic browsing etc so subscribed to a bunch of other communities but often just find myself on all sorted by scaled.
I don't think there's any real consequences to switching, I rather like the UI and a couple of handy features but admittedly am still just using the front end website rather than an app.
dont know what the consequences would be.
What could they be? I mean, if you don't like a specific instance, or if it stops working, you just stop using it and create an account elsewhere (saying that as a piefed user, btw ;)
Yeah, I just made the switch to piefed some days ago. Isn't there a saying don't put all your eggs in one basket? My first accounts were on kbin and fmhy.ml, but they're not around anymore. I made the switch to lemmy.world, then learned about piefed and since I like the features it had I made the switch to it.
I too migrated to piefed
More communities Faster development cycles Implemented in Python so way easier to modify
What features are those?
The ones most important to me are:
tagging features, tagging hotmaps for communities, search by tag, comments from crossposts is combined to the viewer (there's a divider to show which community),
when someone posts from a certain instance like beehaw you get a reminder about their community standards, user flairs
less resources needed to load stuff (great for third-worlders like me), post and comment subscriptions, feeds (something similar to a multireddit)
topic categories (do note that topic ≠ community) like Regional > Asia > Philippines in which each topic category shows all posts made by communities in the category. For example if you are in Topic: Regional you get posts from all regional communities, in Topic: Asia you get posts from all communities based on Asia.
I’m testing piefed nowdays. Quite easy transition and no consequences.
Fortunately it is way easier to say which instances to avoid lemmy.ml for political reasons and lemmy.world because it's way too big. I don't think I have to mention hexbear and lemmygrad.
Regarding Piefed - I made the switch some time ago, but I don't notice a difference since I am using the voyager app. The only thing that doesn't work for me is auto filling titles in link posts, but yeah that's not a biggie
For those not aware, avoid lemmy.ml because it’s a tankie run and enforced echo chamber, where Russia, China, and North Korea can do no wrong, and saying otherwise is banned as “hate speech”.
lemmy.ml is good to avoid not only for political reasons but people that are nuts enough to defend genocide for countries they have on their team are not to be trusted with much anything else either. Users are cultists that politicise, brigade and harass and community mods on lemmy.ml adopt old school Soviet style silencing of thoughts and discussion other than the state approved.
Before you are making assumptions, I'm a leftie and have been for longer than most of the users there have been alive, but I'm not an authoritarian communist so apparently my thoughts are dangerous for the believers to hear.
Wherever you have your account you can block other instances and everything from selected domain names. My Fediverse experience is so much better after consequently filtering out everything lemmy.ml on every account and instance I'm on and I'd recommend it for everybody.
What consequences could there be? You can have more than one account. Explore freely. Maybe you'll like the change?
if you're LGBTQI+ (or an ally), lemmy.blahaj.zone is decent. The admins are great people too, unlike some other instances.
Lemmy.today if you want to be able to see the entire fediverse. Its pretty much the only one that gives the full experience. And yes, it wont shield you from reading posts you dont agree with. So stay away if you want that.
For people who cant even stand Lemmy.ml, then just use Lemmy.world.
I like this instance I'm in, mostly because I really like Mbin
