Years back when I checked it out it was full of people into conspiracy theories and general bigotry. Interestingly they weren’t specifically right-wing at the time and in fact when the site was originally started it was named something like antiextremes as a reference to not wanting to be left or right leaning.

But you know, over time it just kind of filled up with the types of people that typically got banned on mainstream sites like Reddit. You’ll get an idea of how people in general are there by reading through the posts and comments there.

That’s a good tip, it’s a good idea to subscribe to a Lemmy instance that participates in Fediseer (IMO). It helps to keep spammy instances off your own instance hence lower spam posts overall.

A lot of spammers tend to spin up their own Lemmy instances just to spam the rest of the Fediverse, or they’ll create a ton of new accounts on an instance with lax admin/moderation to use for spam later.

You don’t even need to browse the Fediseer website directly, pretty much all Lemmy instances participating in Fediseer will have the “Guarantor” and “Endorsements” links in the sidebar of their homepage.

Later on when you successfully sign up on a different server just go into your user profile settings again (exactly how you just did for https://lemm.ee/settings but it’ll be [YOUR-NEW-LEMMY-SERVER]/settings, in there under “Import/Export Settings” look for the Import section and there you can import the file you just exported.

PS - For a quick overview of Lemmy servers you can check out https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active&open=true and/or https://join-lemmy.org/instances

Kind of like that it’s a bit slippery, makes it easy to slide into my pocket. A case would just feel too bulky and and would need more force to get in/out of my jean pockets (IMO).

Regrettably, despite having a case, I managed to crack the screen anyway. It fell face down onto a pointy rock. My first broken screen, ever.

Oof yeah I sympathize :) My previous Pixel had a screen protector on it and I still managed to crack the screen by dropping the phone on a corner and getting a nice little corner crack. After that I figured why keep bothering with these protectors haha.

Most people I know have cases on their phones, yeah.

But in case it is helpful my own phone (Pixel 7) has no case/screen protector. Also my phone has cracks on the back and one corner so this tracks :P (but otherwise it has held up quite well)
