Primarily I’m wondering if certain instances have reputations that might color what people think about my community just by virtue of it being hosted on a particular instance.
There’s also the question of instance-wide content moderation or something, not like I’m trying to be edgy, but like some instances might not like curse words or discussions about heavy topics like suicide, or something.
Also I’m wondering if it’s somehow harder for people from other instances to find communities (I understand that subscribing is easy, but finding may be different?)
Appreciate details…
If your community is on a small instance, the instance dies and your community dies.
If the community on lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net or, lemmy.ml, criticisms of China/Russia = banned.
If the community is on lemmy.world, saying “Lol Brain Thompson deserved it” = banned
If the community is on an instance that federates with lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.net, prepare for a brigade every time you mention China or Russia (or their predecessors).
I recommend:
sh.itjust.works
lemmy.ca (you don’t have to be canadian, btw)
but if your community focuses on piracy-related content, then go to lemmy.dbzer0.com
