Pull up a list of Lemmy instances with 100% uptime. That’s not a big list. Look for a location in the U.S. you find an even smaller list. And if your monolingual and speak English bestest… well, then you’re in the realm of a vary small list indeed.
lemmy.ninja is second on that list for size AND speed of growth. Plus, where else are you going to find communities that teach you how to use the Fediverse to your advantage? Drop by and subscribe to the boomer shooter community… We all know they did it right in lo-fi…
Bragging about speed and uptime is a double edged sword. It will make you popular, and then you’re going to have the same scaling and DDOS attack issues as the other big communities.
If we get to be even half the size of Lemmy.world, I will eat my hat. But the same thought does cross my mind every time I invite another disillusioned Redditor on board.
I'm looking for US based to avoid them. Why on earth would I want to be on an instance that's exposed to their government requests?
This will help you find US based instances if that is what you are after.
