I use lemmy.ml because i found it has a large user-base. I also like programming.dev and ideally i would like to see all the posts from the one and the other instance into one :)

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.
it was the only one when i joined
β’Lemmy.ml - Signed up here first, was recommended to it as a general place to sign up to
β’Lemmy.blahaj.zone - Egg memes, blΓ₯haj memes, just memes
β’Lemmy.world - Handy for extra world news communities
β’Lemmynsfw.com - Do I need to explain. This is under a different name, but I've kinda used that name over on the other place and I'm slowly bringing my content over (plus new stuff)
I only use one and four regularly
You know that you can follow your desired communities from other servers, all with e.g. the lemmy.ml account?
Yeah, but there's at least one community I've found that's on an instance that have defederated my main, so what I posted there the other day gained zero traction, and only found out the reason last night (re-found the community through Mastodon and couldn't see my own post). So having alt accounts for those edge cases is my thinking
Plus I post sightly different things on my nsfw account compared to this one π€£

It's the first one I found and many others were filled with germans and I said "Nein"
I wanted an instance specifically for Australians... so I made one π
Doing great work mate!
Blahaj zone is explicitly and deliberately queer friendly, and a bit more lenient than beehaw
Heard lemmy.ml and lemmy.world were being overwhelmed.
Mod of a subreddit I was following created an instance, its was the easiest choice

Ideology!
I signed up at Redditthat.com as it was listed as a recommend instance. I didn't want to overcomplicate the choice. If this instance doesn't fit my needs, I can still create another account somewhere else.
It was nearby geographically and the guy running it seemed to know what he was doing from a technical aspect.
Lemmy.ml was requesting people register on other instances, and lemmy.one stepped up to fill the void.
But when people ask me what instance to sign up for, I tell them lemmy.world. it doesn't really matter, but being based in a bigger instance reduces the friction of finding communities.
I am hosting it lol
Set up the server myself. For me, thatβs part of the fediverse experience.
Decided to go with a smaller instance from the start, as I think we can all see what happens when one entity holds too much power within an ecosystem.
Also wanted to go with one that was not defederated from other instances (nor defederating others as well). Checked a bunch of lists, and decided to go with my current one.
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.
Signed up this account on .world because it was quite small (lol) but seemed competently run. This decision has not worked out great!
Had my other account on Beehaw so after that whole debacle I had to migrate. Moved that one to lemm.ee because again small and competently run. It's worked out much better over there, people seem to keep flocking to .world for whatever reason so lemm.ee is staying nice and manageable (for now).

I found beehaw first, so I started there but then discovered that the admins manage the community creation there. So I made a new account on lemmy.world to mod that, and most browsed with my beehaw account. But then beehaw needed to de-federate from lemmy.world, so I made a vLemmy and lemmy.one accounts so I could interact with both beehaw and lemmy.world.
tl;dr As someone else mentioned, finding a smaller, low-profile instance to have your home account but interacting with other instances seems to be the best approach
