Comment summary: Nerimity stands out for its polished UI, active community, and unique features like posts and P2P voice calls. Users value its open-source nature and customization options. Criticisms include strict moderation, occasional staff drama, and bans on certain content. While many highlight improvements and frequent updates, some suggest self-hosting due to concerns about the main instance and moderation style.

Free software, good community, feature-rich and mostly stable.

Client should be friendlier to keyboards (more keyboard shortcuts and actions).

mods are not professional and there have been quite a lot of drama around here with the owner and staff themselves. it's solid, but i really CANNOT recommend using the main instance, it's bad. i'd recommend self-hosting it, because the potential may be still there

good app and has a lot of updates that keep improving it and the team are very friendly most of the time. definitely improvements to be made in some areas but overall its a really promising place and theyve been making a lot of improvements to fix some of the issues it had in the past

A great app with P2P voice calling, profile themes, role icons and a polished UI with a lot of customisation options. Nerimity has posts which is a unique feature. Servers have a ton of options and overall Nerimity is great to use.

Pretty good service with decent ToS, though it does just outright ban some stuff which is suboptimal. It is also Open-Source so that's a plus for me and you can pretty much fork it and make your own if you dislike the ToS.
