I’ve been an account holder on Example2.net for about six months now, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s time for me to pack up and move to a different instance.

When I first joined, everything felt snappy and the moderation was really hands-off in a good way. But lately, the page load times have been brutal, especially during the evenings. I don't know if it’s because the server is getting overloaded or if they’re having issues with their database, but it’s making it hard to actually hold a conversation.

The pros:

The community culture is actually really chill. People are friendly, and there’s very little of the "toxic" back-and-forth you see on the bigger instances.

The issues:

Reliability is definitely dipping. I’ve had quite a few "500 Internal Server Error" messages over the last two weeks.

The mod team seems to be less active than they were a few months ago, so some of the duplicate threads are starting to clutter up the front page.

Is it just me, or is everyone else on Example2.net seeing the same thing? If you guys think it’s just this instance, does anyone have a recommendation for a more stable pixelfed server that has a similar "chill" vibe?

2/5 stars

I’ve been hanging out on Example.ml for about three months now, and I figured I’d share my experience for anyone currently "instance shopping."

Overall, it’s been a really solid home. It’s running on Lemmy, and it seems to have a pretty heavy focus on open-source stuff and Linux. If you like staying in the terminal or just care about privacy-respecting tools, you’ll probably fit in fine here.

The good: The uptime is impressive—I don’t think I’ve hit a single "server error" page since I joined. The moderation seems to be handled by people who are actually present; they’re pretty quick to shut down the spam bots that pop up once in a while.

The catch: It’s not really a "general" social site. If you're looking for memes or light conversation, this probably isn't the spot. It’s definitely more of a "power user" environment.

Has anyone else spent time on this server? Curious if anyone else has run into issues with the software updates or if it’s just my browser acting up.

4/5 stars

I ate macdonald at Target today. Three of my lungs collapsed as I got carbon monoxide poisoning from eating shit. A brave patriot wearing an Affliction shirt, a MAGA hat, and sweet wrap around sunglasses saved me by giving me CPR. I thanked him and asked if he was a doctor and he said "who needs doctors when we have our fellow Americans, the ones who are here legally I mean." I hugged him and threw my fries on the ground. The Star Spangled Banner played on the speaker system as everyone in the threw down their insulin needles on the ground, chanting "down with communism!" God, Jesus, and all the angels looked down upon us from Heaven and clapped and all of our diabetes was cured
