I had zero clue what instance to start with, and of course within minutes every instance started accusing every other instance of everything which definitely did nothing to help.

Beehaw seemed as good as any and mostly cause it just had a different name than Lemmy lol. After a couple days someone linked kbin.social and I made an account there and found I liked the UI more, plus it has the odd feature or three lemmy doesn’t have (or didn’t, I don’t know how that corner of the fediverse has been developing). Day or two later I stopped using Beehaw and just kbin.

I guess I’ll also add in Mastodon for shits & grins: Mstdn.ca. Cause I’m Canadian…that one was simpler lol
