Of course, it’s everyone’s own decision what they do with their free time and it is not my place to judge anyone, but you could at least give a good idea a chance, right?

    makes all the difference?

    PieFed.ca and Lemmy.ca are targeted for Canadian people, it’s in the name, the logos, everything. Using that as a default recommendation would bring a lot of non Canadians to those instances, which would dilute the sense of community those instances have, and would be met with hesitation by potential new joiners “I’m not Canadian, why would I join here, isn’t there a more generic instance”?

    I would avoid it

    As far as I know, there’s no alternative for a reliable EU hosted Piefed reliable instance, so until one shows up, I’m going to stick to piefed.zip

      What about PieFed.social? I keep thinking of it as a more experimental instance, but while it may receive updates before any of the others it was you iirc who pointed out to me that it is no longer used as the “test” instance anymore. It defederates from both of those. I forget where it is located though?

          But in this case PieFed is so new, it doesn’t have anywhere close to the same mod issues as PieFed.World, and if there are no better options… it could be the best among the available choices?
