Do y’all actually care what instance you’re on? The only thing keeping me on SJW is that it would take a whole minute to make an account elsewhere
The vibe can vary pretty drastically from instance to instance, regardless of federation. Ultimately in the bigger communities it doesn’t matter at all though
Social Justice Warrior?
I believe they were referring to sh.itjust.works, an instance with an unfortunate quantity of low quality memes.
Yup, I figured they were joking because my username has @sh.itjust.works in it, and yup, local browsing is kinda ass but I mainly browse the equivalent of /r/all (hence my commenting in a lemmy.ml thread)
yeah I thought all the instances swim in the same soup. I see all instances in my feed.
That would be logical. On Liftoff I cannot see most domains, or long usernames.
Coming across ich iel while browsing, with my basic understanding of german: Weißt du, ich bin ein Wissenshafter mich.

E: None of the above
C - final answer

YES!
Both
Startrek.website seems to be run by the same people who ran r/startrek, some of the most ridiculous, petty, power-tripping stereotypes of neckbeard reddit mods you could find. Not that familiar with the other two, but lemmy.world seems to be run by reasonable people just trying to do their best.

Hardly just my experiences. Zero quality control when it came to content, the sub was often full of reposted random tweets from bit-part actors from the 90’s, often not even talking about ST, or trashy shit like playing fuck/marry/kill with the cast of DS9, but at a certain point it got turned into unpaid PR for CBS/Paramount, where you couldn’t make even light-hearted jokes about any currently broadcast show. Everything and anything would be struct down with some “be constructive” rule that translated to toxic positivity and users functioning as little more than advertisers for the shows, that sub was basically a test bed for the enshittification of reddit as an advertising platform, and trying to discuss it with the mods just got you a bunch of smarmy smartarsery in return. They’re pretty much every 90’s stereotype of a ST fan running a chatroom.
If you looked at any of the other ST-related subs, you used to find no shortage of people with similar stories. I’m sure many of them were neckbeards in their own right who just raged against any and all new ST stuff, often with weird political bents, but given I’m not one of them and still got bullshit from them, I’m guessing a fair few of them had valid grievances too.
What is better than reddit?
The correct answer: Reddit

I mean, no one instance is really going to be that viable a competitor on its own, isn’t the entire point of fedi platforms that what you get is an amalgamation of all (or at least most, after considering defederation) of them?
feddit.de obviously. Why? Pff. No reason.
Important question: Is feddit.de a Lidl or Aldi instance?
Rewe
Trick question! All of them are better than fucking reddit.
Alternatively, selfhost.
i got banned from my usual instance a few weeks ago and i resolved to self host.
i’ve been procrastinating on it since
Its a difficult trial of patience and knowledge seeking to get it set up.
Yeah and i wanted to use it to expand my kubernetes skills which i imagine is going to be… unpleasant
I’m using Docker.
OP has used Ask the Audience lifeline, which has been anecdotally quite accurate.
Going by the comments, this is one of those instances where the audience is unable to arrive on a consensus. :D

Lemmy.world is worse than Reddit
Yeah, I switched instances pretty quickly.

I mean, both have toxic stupid people, but Reddit does still have way more niche communities and activity. I still rarely go back to Reddit, and mostly chill on lemmy.ca, but it is missing many subreddits I liked.
Lemmy.world federates with a lot of good smaller instances, Reddit doesn’t federate with anyone.
Reddit forces analytics on every link you click. Lemmy.world doesn’t.
Reddit is selling NFTs, implementing multiple incompatible chats, and purging topics that might be too controversial before their IPO.
Lemmy.world isn’t the best, but it’s ahead of shitty corporate sites that aren’t part of any larger network.
Lemmy.world IS reddit
Only if tracking, federation, and moderation mean nothing to you.
I agree with you man. The people there are just way stupider. I ended up switching instances because of that.
