What would be the best thing to do to help keep lemmy.world up? Donate? Servers? What is the best way to help?

    Honestly, everyone not joining lemmy.world would help. Also, not confusing Lemmy and lemmy.world as the same thing. If you have an alt account on another server, consider making it your permanent account. It’s the fediverse. You don’t need to be on lemmy.world to see lemmy.world.

      Honestly having a list of what makes instances different would help. I have two lemmy accounts right now and figuring out which instance to pick after Limmy.world is tough.

      And I only want maximum federation. I’m willing to do my own moderation and curation, just not hosting. Though that may come later if needed.

        I’m really happy at Lemmy.today - federates with everyone, no downvotes and fast instance. Just needs more users.

              The vlemmy situation. Just make sure they defederate instances hosting things illegal in their home state.

                  Vlemmy was .net

                  They federated with an instance that was hosting content that was illegal in the country vlemmy was hosted in.

                    Ok thanks. It’s kind of hard to keep track of all servers in the fediverse, so hopefully these illegal hosting servers would be highlighted by the community somehow.

        Imo, the main difference between instances are the admin’s attitudes.

        Beehaw.com wants to be walled off for curation, lemmy.ml is a general server for tankies that don’t want to troll and serves as a test bed for the devs, lemmy.world wants to be a general hub, sh.itjust.works also wants to be a general hub that puts more value on letting people manage their own content

      Yeah, I originally made an account in like early June in Lemmy.world then I made this account recently to not add to the load. Haven’t touch other account ever since.
