https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
This page lists all instances but also recommends some random ones with medium userbase and high uptimes. The idea of Lemmy is that users are spread out. Lemmy.world is massively inflated with users.
The problem with the smaller instances is that there's less support and it's more likely to shut down.
I like sh.itjust.works because it has the best name. Also the admins seem cool.
Also Canadian and on renewable energy.
i joined it back when shit and world were the new, small servers. I still can't believe shit got so big and world is now the biggest
I'm quite fond of this one. Admin is easily reachable and reasonable IME.
yeah and we get to have profile pics and pictures in comments, which isn't on instances like lemm.ee
You can have pictures in comments, just not hosted on lemm.ee. Proof:
Image uploads have always been size-limited on lemm.ee because sunaurus anticipated it becoming an issue, if you were planning on using lemm.ee as an image host you were on the wrong instance in the first place when he shut uploading down completely. What you do get with lemm.ee is everything else being snappy.
I have embedded photos though. I've used them from time to time. Dunno about profile pics
When we updated to 19.whatever a couple months ago the admin (founder? idk what the appropriate term is) pushed out some changes that allowed image uploads as long as they were below a certain size
I hadn't noticed this, thanks for the info
IIRC lemm.ee disabled all image uploads following one of the waves of attacks a few months ago. It's possible this has been since reverted as things had died down for a bit there.
I've seen embedded photos so sporadically that I imagine if they were gone (for a while or right now) I wouldn't have noticed. But I know it has been a thing at some points
