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!
Thank you for clarifying but I think you go over the main topic a bit quickly. What does it mean “because of the tankies”? Who are the tankies and what have they done that is to be avoided by going to another instance?
Well, the people who are fans of authoritiarian regimes(like the soviet union), and are pro china/russia. Those instances specifically house those people, which leads to them getting defederated from major instances.
