For the unaware, is a alternative to platforms such as Reddit and Tildes. I've been using Lemmy as one of my main social platforms for the past 6 months...

    I’ve personally developed my system as:

    1. If there are multiple communities, which is the most popular?
    2. If the most popular community is on a problematic instance, skip to the next most popular that is also on a good instance.

    That takes away the paralysis, at least for me.

      What do you do when there are two similarly active communities?

        Hm, I can’t recall encountering that yet, but I can see how that would be a harder one to decide. I suppose I might cycle between them.

          !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id comes to mind

            I think it’s fair to choose the smaller instance then, in the interest of diversification.

              Indeed, but as long as other people still prefer the LW version both communities will continue to splinter the conversations
