I have been on Lemmy for a while now but never posted anything as a new post so please forgive me if I am doing anything wrong.
I see that I am part of lemmy.world and that this instance is frowned upon.
Is there a better instance I can join? I am not very clued up on Lemmy and as far as I can see it is made up of lots of different sites which are linked together.
I just want to be part of a healthy group and I am just getting into astronomy so are there any good groups for that please?
If it helps I am based in the UK.
Have a great weekend all.
Edit: sorry for the late response another 6 day week at work. Thank you all so much for the very useful advice!
This was a while ago, but I want to clarify,
I reccommended avoiding beehaw because its typically not what people are looking for out of lemmy. Don’t get me wrong, they have a great community and its very well moderated, but its likely not what OP wanted.
I didn’t reccommend hex, grad and .ml because of the tankies and because they are controversial and get defederated a lot. I have immense respect for hexbears defense of lgbt rights, but they probably aren’t the best for your average lemmy worlder.
