Greetings all, don’t know if this type of cross posting is allowed here, my sincere appologies if not, I’ve recently started a c/archive community. You might find this interesting :))

          not really, but .ml kinda has a bad recognition due to numerous issues with some people on it

          Sort of a guilt by association thing. The .ml instance is also defederated from some other instances because of this. I wouldn’t say you’re fucked but it was enough to get me to first switch instances and then switch platforms to Mbin entirely because I found out the main devs for Lemmy are also admins for the .ml. I think most people would probably be understanding but some people will definitely make assumptions due to the instance names. I would be more worried about the admins messing with my posts or banning me because they didn’t like something I said. Hexbear is another would I would recommend avoiding, not sure if they got banned or what but they were very unpopular amongst most of the instances because of extremist shit.

            I used to have an account there and this wasn’t my experience, and I used to be a capitalist back then. I mainly quit because there was nothing to do there, this was before lemmy gained an actual userbase following the reddit api situation when the most popular post on the whole network had one hundred upvotes and eight comments or something.

            You’ll be fine if you don’t involve yourself with the political communities, I don’t see why you would considering there still doesn’t seem to be much activity there.

        So do I =) To be fair, I first tried registering on db0 instance and start this community here. But my account was rejected for some reason (probebly me not able to pass registration process LOL). So here we are ^_^ Unless db0 are willing to mirror this community over to db0 instance and authorize my BADROBOT account here, it is what it is =) But not all instances allow links even if its on archive.org, not sure whats the policy on db0 instance. For me personally it dosn’t really matter what instance I use as long as this community and posts survive =) All I care about is archiving, sharing what I find that it. No politics involved. But like I said, my first lemmy registraion choice was dbzer0 instance. Just because its more of a piracy type of content and best piracy community is on this instance ^_^ But sadly we are on different ships LOL Aaarrrr

          Might be worth considering going to Mbin or Piefed instead? I’ve been enjoying kbin.earth a lot more than my old Lemmy instance. Piefed looks pretty good too but I haven’t really tried it yet.

            I’d add to the suggestions Friendica too. Unfamiliar with Piefed (maybe I’ll create an account on the flagship instance to try out), but the other two also allow following microblogging stuff (e.g. Mastodon), as well as having microblogging functions to thread posts (e.g. boosting and tags).
