Marvelous! Though, just to clarify, why the lemmy.ml is frequently considered not preferred? For years I see that the instance is mentioned alongside?: “mistrusted”, “discredited”, “unstable” etc.
Have you considered another of the most popular as lemmy.world? If you did, why did you choose Feddit, if I may ask?
I simply chose feddit.org, because it is my home instance and I am very happy with how it is being maintained and taken care for (i.e. see https://feddit.org/post/25348485 or https://feddit.org/post/5050805). It is operated by a non-profit organization (https://fediverse.foundation/) and Lemmy.world already seems like the biggest instance, so in the spirit of decentralization I think it makes sense to spread the content out a little.
Not too sure about lemmy.ml, I know the political views of some of the admin are at least questionable and in general it seems quite political, which I don’t really need for a chess community
