Have you discovered a new instance? Did you experience a rift in community shifts? Did nothing change for you at all?

Personally, this event gave me a newfound appreciation for the admims of our various Fediverse servers. Thanks for all your hard work, guys.

I'm on jlai.lu now, I usually browse by all instances but this may be an opportunity to contribute more locally & in my native language.

I'm on Piefed now, had this alt account soon after Piefed appeared on the map but decided nows a good time to switch.

I like it a lot so far, but not being able to use Thunder as my mobile app does sting - the devs said they'll support it in the future.

Definitely shoutout to all the admins volunteering to host and manage these servers, send them a few dollars if you could.

The day Thunder supports Piefed, I'm instantly switching over. Hopefully soon ™️

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I made an alt account on PieFed too, I just wish I could use it with Jerboa.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What do you use? I'm on interstellar

[–] hanrahan@piefed.social 1 points 14 hours ago

not the OP, using Interstealler on a piefed alt jist now, I use Boost on Lemmy, with a slr.pnk account.

interstellar glitches a lot for me as well as having used and liked from Boost long ago in my Reddit days.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For now I'm just visiting piefed.social through my web browser, since Interstellar doesn't have all the features I want.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I get that. What features doesn't it have?

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I find that I'm not really able to customize the interface as much. I'm trying to make it look similar to Jerboa's compact interface, which I'm used to.

Who knows, maybe I'll adjust to it sooner or later.

Nice one thanks for sharing!

Yep I'm finding it a bit fiddly but I'm awful with tech, hoping i adjust to it

[–] elevenbones@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago

I used jerboa too, but interstellar seem aight so far, and seems like the devs are open to implementing features users are asking for

[–] ceiron@europe.pub 6 points 1 day ago

Switched to europe.pub and piefed.social. Looking forward to seeing piefed being more supported by mobile app such as Mlem (already announced) and voyager.

[–] YerbaYerba@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I moved to lemmy.zip. So far it's been an equivalent experience.

[–] SEND_BUTTPLUG_PICS@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

I did the same and my experience has also been the same.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 4 points 1 day ago

Everything is the same. Everything is fine. There is nothing to worry about.

[–] Trabic@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

I went back to my alt on Lemmy.one then they just announced they are shutting down too, so I started a Lemmy.today account. Seems fine so far.

[–] 50shadesofautism@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I made a piefed account but interstellar doesn't have all the features I want currently so I'll check it out again soon, chillin here for now.

Yeh. Lemm.ee was my first. Only a short time so I hadn’t really tried anything else. Moved to PieFed. Kinda like it.

Easy to scroll
Pictures. It has a few more filtering options.

Thanks to the Lemm.ee team good luck on your next passion and professional endeavours.

I moved to dbzer0 and have noticed basically no difference. That's one of the things that makes the fediverse so great

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll probably go piefed or mastodon then delete my account here on my cake day. Or i won't do anything at all. I simply don't know.

[–] katze@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why delete? The instance will go down anyway.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Unus Annus

Jkjk. It's so that the deletes can get federated. Once .ee goes offline, nothing else can be federated

[–] elevenbones@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I made a sh.itjust.works a while ago as a backup and just made a piefed.social recently, I will probably keep the sh.it as just a backup and keep using piefed

Still trying to decide where to go...
