I want to make an alt to post on my expertise, so I want a nice instance to create the new acnt in. Which do you guys recommend? I heard good words about piefed, but not sure I would make the jump, and dont know what the consequences would be.

Fortunately it is way easier to say which instances to avoid lemmy.ml for political reasons and lemmy.world because it’s way too big. I don’t think I have to mention hexbear and lemmygrad.
Regarding Piefed - I made the switch some time ago, but I don’t notice a difference since I am using the voyager app. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is auto filling titles in link posts, but yeah that’s not a biggie
For those not aware, avoid lemmy.ml because it’s a tankie run and enforced echo chamber, where Russia, China, and North Korea can do no wrong, and saying otherwise is banned as “hate speech”.
lemmy.ml is good to avoid not only for political reasons but people that are nuts enough to defend genocide for countries they have on their team are not to be trusted with much anything else either. Users are cultists that politicise, brigade and harass and community mods on lemmy.ml adopt old school Soviet style silencing of thoughts and discussion other than the state approved.
Before you are making assumptions, I’m a leftie and have been for longer than most of the users there have been alive, but I’m not an authoritarian communist so apparently my thoughts are dangerous for the believers to hear.
Wherever you have your account you can block other instances and everything from selected domain names. My Fediverse experience is so much better after consequently filtering out everything lemmy.ml on every account and instance I’m on and I’d recommend it for everybody.
