Amazing choice, it's what we've ended up doing with break3.social and social.fedicate.org our Sharkey instances but running more instances is the goal with Lemmy or Piefed in the future.
Amazing to see system admins pop up, it's amazing to create your own instance that others can join and interact. In the future we plan on making PixelFed and Lemmy instances for certain use cases. I think the travel niche could really use the PixelFed system fairly well with how taking photos on your travels could be a helpful thing.
I also know there's some people posting on Loops.video travel things that might work for a future instance at some point.
Yeah it was sad seeing Kbin fall apart, tried Mbin and it's great but doesn't have the same feel in some ways sadly, Maybe the project could get a heart and grow in there own direction in the future as there's so many things they could do to become a great all around Instance but heard amazing things about Piefed and it's on the list of Software I hope to visit and try out in the near future.
How come you are using multiple instances? Is it due to the different interfaces?
I know I run this and a few other accounts from a Sharkey (Microblogging) Instance, from here I get to do most things including post things up on Lemmy & Piefed with just mentioning the Community in the post.
Wafrn is an interesting one, only just started to look into it but it looks like it has some promise to be a Tumblr like experience on the Fediverse.
This is something I've been trying to solve, well our social.fedicate.org instance is currently invite only we hope that we can open it up to registrations in the future. We are currently settings things up to set things up correctly as the break3.social instance (the one this account users) is a business instance for projects and other stuff mainly worked on by @sam
Hopefully we see more Sharkey instance that are english based in the future as I know a good few that are english based are Trans / LGBT based what I don't think is your cup of tea (or it might be I don't know)
Fair enough, do you think that the main piefed instance is good enough or do you think you'd move to a different instances in the future but stay with the piefed software?
I find that keeping the Fediverse open to others as much as possible is a really helpful thing instead of De-Federating on the first little bad message from a user that probably got missed or is being dealt with by the system admin.
I know there's been an okay amount of people that have said about how they moved from Lemmy World due to moderation over reach along with often being de-federated from other instances on bias' (I have no evidence of this, just comments from others to this post)
So what makes lemmy.zip better than running your own instance? I know there's plenty of benefits for people joining things like Lemmy World if you want a very restricted environment but what does lemmy.zip have over running your own instance?
Having admins that tell you what's going on is so helpful. Also yes having a balance between online life and real life is really good to have. Well I still like having my servers there for me and others when it's needed it's nice to know you are finding a silver-lining in it sometimes going down for maintenance and other things.
Amazing choice, it's what we've ended up doing with break3.social and social.fedicate.org our Sharkey instances but running more instances is the goal with Lemmy or Piefed in the future.
Glad to see others host there own instance
