The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

Looks like Beehaw was indeed the perfect fit and best instance to join. Though it is troubling how many shits like this have joined the Fediverse.
I picked Beehaw because it was an instance that was big enough to have activity, yet small enough where I wouldn’t bee overwhelmed (ba dum tsh). Although I am thinking of creating an alt account on a friendly server just in case, because until mod tools get better, I an kind of scared of defederation and fragmentation.
I heard it’s pretty common for lemmy users to have accounts across multiple instances. I have a couple as well “just in case” but the Beehaw community is pretty good and I’m just on it all the time and have barely ventured out on my other accounts.
We’ll see what the future holds for federation but as long as your chosen instance has high quality and active…activity then you should be good.
Same. I have a few accounts everywhere. Not on beehaw tho cuz too many defederations. I wanna read what my buddies are doing on Lemmy world and s.j.w and I couldn’t from here.
I think it’s reasonable to have an account on another federated server, especially if they’re a smaller (sub 100 users) instance that requires applications. In my experience after switching to a smaller server, I was able to see a similar amount of activity on my feed by subscribing to a wide range of communities I’m even mildly interested in.
I like browsing by New and on Beehaw, it’s a bit rough because I would see a lot of NSFW communities and have to constantly manually block them, and as it’s a more active instance, I would run into the “person subscribes to new community and feed fills with those posts” bug very often. On the smaller instance, there’s a lot of overlap between my subs and other users’ subs in terms of content so New is still a pleasant browsing experience.
I don’t know that bug. Can you describe it a bit more? Not sure if you typoed there.
I joined beehaw June 1st, it was the best choice at the time, there was basically Beehaw and lemmy.ml . But when Beehaw defederated lemmy.world I created an account there too. So for the moment I have 2 accounts, it covers my need.
I mean them joining is 100% expected since anyone can make and host an instance. The issue comes when a larger instance is ok with harboring these psycho fucks
Not only that but anyone can join too. It’s open registration. However, do note it’s so new and small it’s gone virtually unnoticed until now.
