So what makes lemmy.zip better than running your own instance? I know there's plenty of benefits for people joining things like Lemmy World if you want a very restricted environment but what does lemmy.zip have over running your own instance?
Having admins that tell you what's going on is so helpful. Also yes having a balance between online life and real life is really good to have. Well I still like having my servers there for me and others when it's needed it's nice to know you are finding a silver-lining in it sometimes going down for maintenance and other things.
@dsilverz@calckey.world What's the benefits of sticking with Calckey over something like Sharkey or another Misskey Fork? As from my research I can find Calckey has had 2 years since the last update to the code, is it even being maintained anymore?
Also agree with you fully, the features of a Misskey Fork is so amazing to have with the 3k character limit and utility with the custom emojis and other features are a god send.
Kbin had it's upsides but yeah glad Mbin is here to carry on it's legacy in some sort of way. Just sucks it doesn't connect with Mastodon and Lemmy apps as it'll solve some of the issues.
lemmy.world seems to be a good default at the moment.
That's such a out of the way thing the admins done for you. It seems like sh.itjust.works is a fairly decent place for Lemmy users to go from what I've seen so far.
