How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience?
I originally chose to make my account on lemmy.world since all the content seemed to come from there. But I've since learned that I can fill my feed with stuff from any instance so it feels like it doesn't actually matter if I'm on lemmy.world or not. At the same time, Lemmy.world seems to be frequently under attack so I'm wondering if I should change instance but have no idea what I should even be looking for when choosing.
You're viewing a single thread.
I originally created a user on vlemmy.net. Then at some point that instance disappeared, causing me to lose the user, subscriptions and settings. So I created a user on lemmy.world. For whatever reason, it became very buggy - I don't know if it's the app (I'm using Jerboa) or the instance, but I got constantly logged out and loading posts didn't work properly. Third time's a charm (so far) as I created this user on lemm.ee.
The confidence of stability of different instances seems to be a huge detractor for me. I'm hoping to see lemm.ee run with decent stability going forward.
I've been on Lemm.ee since the start with no problems. Can you sandwich together those accounts across different instances somehow?
