What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?
Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?

Literally every single instance I’ve ever joined has either died/shutdown or had weeks/months long outages.
Hate, hate, hate.
Anyway, I almost didn’t make it on to lemmy dot zip – There’s a glaring bug and major UI malfunction on the web version of the sign-up form. I tried signing up, got some generic error message “InvalidName”, but not indication about what was invalid about it. Tried several variations of the name I wanted, no dice. Tried “InvalidName” itself, didn’t work. So I tried “InvalidName2” and that finally worked.
After all that effort to join, figured I’d stay a bit.
Glad you finally got onto the Instance, what made you choose Lemmy over Mbin or Piefed?
Piefed web UI was absolutely rancid, at least the one time I tried it, which was not that long ago. Mbin, I feel like I did try at one time, but it was down or sign-ups weren’t functional at all at the time, so I figured they didn’t really care enough about it, which put a damper on my enthusiasm.
