https://lemmy.ml OR https://lemmy.world and https://kbin.social and are quite nice. Been posting there myself and it is great.

Lemmy is having some stability issues across its instances because of this growth curve: https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/693866c7-8f65-4046-8781-58aee70...

I'm trying really hard to like Lemmy, but whenever I'm reading through posts on "active", "hot", etc. it will initially load with the correct content. But then, I get about 10 seconds before the entire list frantically reflows and fills with brand new posts from all over the place. Extraordinarily annoying. I get that creating a new post is itself "activity" which is probably why it does that, I don't think posts of that nature meet the description of "hot".

Maybe I just need to be going by Top->Day

I look at the subscribed communities I am part of. I find that just looking at all communities a little overwhelming.

I used to primarily browse /r/all because I like to see when niche communities produce things exceptional enough to hit it (and I'd just filter subreddits I didn't want)

Especially now, there are a -lot- of new Lemmy communities popping up so I like to be able to see that kind of activity.
