I chose mine because it disallows NSFW on its own communities and takes a hard stance against defederation while not being defederated. I want to have more control over my feed and not be isolated.

MODERATORS
It federates with the servers that have some stuff I want access to on them, and it also has rules against being a huge douche. And it's supported by Jerboa.
That's pretty much it. Mix of convenience and what passes for my moral scruples.
It actually matter. Initially I choose .world, they run by nice and competent people but the surge of users is simply too much. It makes experience there is subpar with slow response due to high load and high latency due to distance (.world hosted in europe, I live in SEA). I then migrated lemmy.my.id, and the experience is improved a lot as the server is nearer and the users still few.
I just picked lemmy.world because itβs big. Not a very good justification, but itβs the one Iβve got
Iβm a pirate π΄ββ οΈ and like the community itself, friendly and helpful.
like most of the others here, I went because of the $5 signup bonus.
Initially made an account with the instance opened after my country's subreddit made the shift, but on Jerboa trying to look at other instance content was really rough.
So I joined here since I enjoy the content, and raise the black flag every so often.
lemmy.ml was the only general purpose instance when I opened my account. There were only two instances back then - lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml
I frequently see Stux on mastodon, and I think they're a good person so I decided to choose one of their instances when choosing a Lemmy server.
Tried the bee but did not get any notification I was accepted. Fortunately saw programming.dev pop on my feed and they accepted my request.
Good thing as well that I found all of my favorite programming languages on the server.
I have my own self-hosted server at home, and YunoHost had a package available for Lemmy, but not yet for Kbin.
I'm hosting my own. I had a free server with 9GB RAM and 99GB disk space, and it was only running my Mastodon server until now. I like the freedom to do what I want with the server :)
I chose aussie.zone cause I'm from Australia and it's nice to hang out with other Aussies
I tried to join programming.dev but they were having a tech problem. I wanted to join them because I learned about lemmy through the programee space. I hopped to lemmy.world and then immediately realized that was a bad idea for future stability. It was leggy and the flood hadn't even begun. Then I learned about sh.itjust.works and I picked it for stability reasons and having a decent amount of users. I stayed because I'm digging it for now and it was totally stable through the flood.
Ideology π.
I joined lemmy.ml a while ago because following cool opensource projects is my jam.
I was linked here by RIF and only found out that other instances existed after signing up.
