The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

Looks like Beehaw was indeed the perfect fit and best instance to join. Though it is troubling how many shits like this have joined the Fediverse.
I picked Beehaw because it was an instance that was big enough to have activity, yet small enough where I wouldn't bee overwhelmed (ba dum tsh). Although I am thinking of creating an alt account on a friendly server just in case, because until mod tools get better, I an kind of scared of defederation and fragmentation.
I heard it’s pretty common for lemmy users to have accounts across multiple instances. I have a couple as well “just in case” but the Beehaw community is pretty good and I’m just on it all the time and have barely ventured out on my other accounts.
We’ll see what the future holds for federation but as long as your chosen instance has high quality and active…activity then you should be good.
Yeah, I'm on here and kbin.social, mostly because there's so many communities popping up and I have a million niche interests that I'd feel like I was shooting myself in the foot by locking myself out of communities that are defederated due to having too many spambots etc. but also because lemmy and kbin don't seem to play perfectly with each other yet.
(An uptick in spambots is presumably a natural consequence of a sudden influx in users, both due to bots having more reason to spam said instances, and due to the rapid rise in users making them somewhat harder to spot and expunge.)
Same. I have a few accounts everywhere. Not on beehaw tho cuz too many defederations. I wanna read what my buddies are doing on Lemmy world and s.j.w and I couldn't from here.
