What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

Why did you choose your Fediverse Instance, does it have a bigger meaning than it was a bigger instance or was it for a certain reason? Did you have to be on your instance you chose?

How come you are using multiple instances? Is it due to the different interfaces?

I know I run this and a few other accounts from a Sharkey (Microblogging) Instance, from here I get to do most things including post things up on Lemmy & Piefed with just mentioning the Community in the post.

Wafrn is an interesting one, only just started to look into it but it looks like it has some promise to be a Tumblr like experience on the Fediverse.

I use them for different interfaces, different people and different things (I mostly comment/lurk on Lemmy, post random thoughts on Mastodon and post more art on Wafrn).

I rarely see Mastodon posts on Lemmy and vice-versa, and this Wafrn instance has native BlueSky integration which I find interesting (I haven't actually enabled it on my account yet, so I can see but not interact with BlueSky posts).
