I agree with you, participation matters

There already is a question similar to this. You can find lots of ideas there :)

If you open browse.feddit.de you’ll see that it’s not difficult to find the biggest/most popular one

You’re welcome! :D

I like FediDB.org

Some tips:

• If you have a question about how Lemmy works, first search in the documentation, in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml or !lemmy@lemmy.ml and with a search engine
• if you didn’t find an answer, ask in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Also, some useful places to find new instances:

• FediDB
• The Federation Info
• Awesome Lemmy Instances

Finally, try not to lurk and have fun :) (edit: lemmy_support is better than lemmy for support)

There is no problem if there are more communities with the same topic. The ones wich are better moderated and actively updated will eventually gain in popularity and stand out

Ahaha, good question

I’m using DuckDuckGo but I’m going to switch back to Brave Search when images will be ready

Take a look at https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

Motorhead Lemmy

That’s exactly the point: if they become “bad”, we can always move to another one with the same name but on another instance

It’s a very good thing to avoid what happened on Reddit that a big istance is moderated by people that don’t think democratically and rule against other people’s will deleting posts and banning everyone they don’t like.

With federation, you can choose the instances and communities you like the most, the ones with better moderation and so the kindest one will probably prevail :)

lol, of course

This would be cool and useful

Meditating

Just for the fediverse
