I'm on https://mastodon.world, but for personal stuff I created https://ruud.social and for hobbies I run https://pool.social and https://musicworld.social.
Oh and I also have https://calckey.world but I don't post too much there.
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it's related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).

LOL you run all of those Ruud! LOL
I run 11 fedi servers in total.
certifiable. LOL
Why, https://mastodon.world of course, since it's also ran by @ruud, the admin of lemmy.world. I feel he knows what he's doing with hosting better than most instances.
Well according to commenters and posters in some communities, they themselves are the smartest and should be running the show.
I'm sure they're welcome to, if they want to spin up their own instances. :D
See that would require more than being a keyboard warrior
Ah! I'm on Mastodon.world!
EDIT: You also asked for why. Well, I wrote a blog post about it, actually...
leftist.network
Seems kind of self-explanatory...
deacon.social, as I'm Christian. It's a niche community, but it works almost as well as the big instances, while defending the Federation system.
Linux.pizza because it had open registration at the time I created an account and I am interested in both, Linux and pizzas.
I'm over at https://mastodon.gamedev.place and enjoy it a ton.
There are a number of prolific game designers as well as tons of indie devs sharing knowledge + life updates. A very cozy instance without any hateful BS.
https://mastodon.social just as I am on https://kbin.social
I kept it simple.
I'm on mstdn.social. The admin is really cool, and the server is big enough to my liking.
Same. I like Stux and find a good general instance a great way to discover people and connect.
Outside of the one time he gut defederated with mastodon.art too reactively, he’s been a fair and good moderator. Not too open (like mastodon.social) and not to overbearing (like mastodon.art)
With that being said, I do plan on switching to a smaller one once I get some good connections and feel like I’ve done my part to support the Fediverse as a whole. Just find a nice server of queer goofy dorks like me.
Now that I'm more aware about federation things and more servers appear in the wild, maybe I'll change to a smaller one too. But I'm too lazy, and I've already changed my first instance to mstdn.social a year ago.
I got my eye on beige.party lol. love it. Follow lots of folks there, but for now I'll sit tight on mstdn.social unless Stux gets weird on me.
Ha! Masto.ai is also a Stux property. I'm an Admin over there if you need a spot!
tech.lgbt/ it's a bit self explanatory lol
fosstodon.org - They are very competent people and there to stay.
Just don't join any big instances. It will kill the purpose of fediverse.
Go to official mastodon site. lot of instances is listed there. Choose whatever instance you think will surve your purpose :)
I mostly active on my own (non-mastodon fediverse) instance, I do have account on small instance, but it is collecting the dust most of the time.
Given you are on Lemmyworld, I think it is better to join mastodon.world. It is also owned and managed by te same people who runs lemmyworld. I like their transparency.
I'm bias but Ruud runs a good ship!
I run https://dmv.community for folks in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area, and I run https://pixtagram.social Pixelfed instance.
If you can find a server, that is literally local in focus, I recommend that. Literally Geo local.
I thought about this but IDK something about my username basically including my regional information makes me uncomfortable.
I'm on mastodonapp.uk for the same reason I'm on feddit.uk; I sought out a local instance.
I'm on linux.pizza I'm a linux guy, and the server is administrated by a swedish guy, makes it easier to communicate with the admin. He also has been really great when I've been interacting with him :)
programming.dev
There are a lot of tech communities here. If you're geeky come and join us.
Otherwise, there are lots of options and comparisons here: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
I use kbin microblog feature to post to fedi
I'm on mas.to. Chose it because it's got a decent UK presence (but isn't a UK-specific server), is quite popular, and the admin runs it well.
kolektiva.social, the name is cool and it allows 10 000 long posts. Also, it's an anarchist instance and being an anarchist I kinda like that.
I have 4 Mastodon accounts, 1 on Vivaldi (as I use this browser), and 3 on Polish servers. My main one is on 101010.pl (largest Polish, can read formatted posts), other ones are on pol.social and mastodon.com.pl. I was also on calckey.pl, but Calckey appararently was not ready for use - the instance is now closing down. I have a Polish /kbin account (on karab.in), and WriteFreely and Mobilizon accounts.
I’m hosting my own calckey instance now, but before that I was on techhub.social which was really nice!
I recently joined Fosstodon and so far it seems like a nice and well moderated place to connect with others about tech and open source.
I’m on Mastodon.social because I thought it was as good as any other, but after reading comments here I’m considering switching to mastodon.world
I'm on urusai.social right now to talk about anime / manga / general tech. Probably gonna end up creating an additional account on a more general instance to talk about things on a whim too
I'm on neovibe.app however federation over there is completely broken right now
I have an account on mastodon.online
newsie and mstdn.games
