Lemmy Explorer can help give a big picture view of what’s out there, both in instances and in communities. Kbin instances are also viewable, you have to select them from the top right menu.
Been on kbin.social for a month and it’s been pretty solid. Note it’s a different platform than lemmy (designed to read both lemmy and mastodon), but does a great job posting to and handling the content from lemmy platforms. There’s growing pains here too, but the uptime has been good.
I think that the dev and some volunteers at kbin.social has done a lot of work on scaling up that instance, but even so, kbin.social will probably hit hard-to-fix scaling issues at some point. It’s also a big instance, like lemmy.world.
I’d been looking at another (presently small) US-based one-person kbin instance, was planning to hop over if it stayed up to help spread load, but it looks like it went down.
I suppose that once a number of instances have a track record of staying up for N months and with their uptime records established, it’ll be easier to figure out what instances are good alternatives, are likely around for the long haul, and which ones will vanish in the wind.
Any recommendations other than .world?
I’ve been going to sh.itjust.works. You can find a list of other instances here as well.
Try to find an instance that’s local to your country or region.
come join us at startrek.website
Agreed.
Startrek.website and sh.itjust.works are the other two legs of my Lemmy Tripod.
I know nothing of Star Trek but after watching the newer Kahn movie I was inspired to watch starting from the modernized episode 1.
What I’m saying is–yes.

Lemmings.world - so far a small instance with big heart!
