I have seen many comments saying that lemmy.world sucks, and sh.itjust.works is good. I have seen that lemmy.world apparently has a very poor reputation among other instances. Why? After a quick look, sh.itjust.works doesn't look much different to me. Can anyone explain?

Edit: many good replies. the conclusion I'm drawing is that for my purposes it doesn't really matter. I appreciate everyone who responded

You'll miss out on the Beehaw community on Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, since Beehaw defederated from them

Lemmy.cafe is a nice general purpose instance that only defederates from the most extreme instances, while still giving access to Beehaw and all other instances. It's still small too, so it'd more effectively spread the load compared to creating an account on sh.itjust.works, which already has a pretty huge user count.

If you consider lemmy.ml and hexbear.net "most extreme" then sure.

An instance who is federating, with pedocriminality, far rights, etc,
Super this workaround,

Not every person on lemmy.ml is an "leftist" who wants imperialist system,

Considering their main export is genocide and dictatorship apologia, I do

Beehaw is not worth the effort. Their audience is way too sensitive to participate with any reasonable level of social interaction. You will live on eggshells if you wish to participate there,

I've never had a problem, always enjoyed my time interacting there 🤷

Same, my posts in Beehaw technology community often get more upvotes than on lemmy.world's one and I never had any problems with it
