    why do people choose it over other instances?

    Non-techy people want a big instance, but .world goes offline too often and .ml doesn’t allow new sign ups.

      When I tested different instances lemm.ee was quite small compared to the big ones. The main pros are technically fast and stable. It also federates comprehensively.

      Edit: also remembered that it hasn’t had any insane admin/rule situations that I’ve noticed

        lemm.ee itself also doesn’t allow porn but that’s a “don’t post it with your lemm.ee account” type of rule. I think it also gets filtered out of the all feed, but you can definitely subscribe to stuff over on lemmynsfw.com. Long story short porn is a bugger to mod and the legal situation when hosting (and uploading an image with a lemm.ee account would imply that) is never trivial, either.

        Somewhat relatedly, image upload limits are also rather strict, 100kb, to avoid that becoming a resource hog.

        That’s reasonable! Although AFAIK lemmynsfw is one of the most defederated instances ever, so there’s a lot of options.

        It actually censors curse words too. I’ve actually come to like it though

      Also lemme.ee is not defederated from one or two instances that I want to access consistently which is why I made a new account there for my new main

      You sure about that? I just made this account a few days ago.

        They closed sign ups during the early days of the migration up until recently. I just missed the moment they’re open again since I’m not interested in large instances.
