What instance of Lemmy would you recommend to use, lemmy world or something else? (lemmy.world)

I'm still trying to get used to Lemmy; the main thing confusing me is the federated bit.

I just want to access Lemmy and its content; how do I do that? Currently I'm just going to old.lemmy.world and using that as a starting point.

Is there another instance you would recommend as the default one?

The two main reasons I ask are:

  1. I want to know if there are things I am simply missing out on and there's a better way to browse Lemmy.

  2. I really don't like cloudflare and have it disabled in Javascript. I don't want to leave it enabled for lemmy.world.

Our https://old.slrpnk.net/ should currently work without any javascript, but we might have to add additional anti-scraper protection in the future if Iocaine becomes ineffective against an aggressive scraper.

    Thanks, this seems like a good option. I appreciate teh old.reddit like interface that old.lemmy.world also has

    Two comments

    1. I can't log in with this account to slrpnk.net. Should I create a new account, or am I doing something wrong?

    2. A very minor minor comment; one thing I don't like about old.slrpnk.net & old.lemmy.world, is the site by default loads to hot posts. I found the active tab to be far more interesting; there is more engaging discussion that I can learn from. If perhaps due to a cookie setting or something, the site could default to the active tab; I (and possibly others) will appreciate it.

    3. I know I said 2, but I'm still struggling to understand the concept of instances. So slrpnk.net is a separate world from Lemmy.world right? Can I engage in lemmy.world's content or no?

    You can set this on the preferences page :)
