Welcome back. You’re on lemmy.world, a perfectly cromulent instance, so I’d just leave it as is.

Nope! Only matters if your instance is defederated from ones you want. I like beehaw and I think they defederated from LW

You’re on a good instance. Go crazy, fam.

It does matter.

For example, your instance, lemmy.world, blocks [email protected]

Not Jolly 😾

.world has memes and doom scrolling, what else could you want? 🥲

I mean it depends on the content you want to see. A lot of instances are defederated from others because of their highly opinionated users., or questionable content.

.world is a pretty general instance that appeals to most, so it’s a good place to be.

the account you already have is goo(d)

Sort of: Each instance has its own rules, admin(s), and may or may not federate with certain other instances. Some may also be more stable or responsive than others depending on hosting.

My broad advice is to avoid hexbear, lemmygrad, and lemmy.ml because they are full of tankies/trolls, other than that: Find the instance you like best and feel free to use more than one!

I’m on Mbin these days, but when I was on Lemmy regularly, I liked to favor instances that got their power from renewables

Your instance isn’t on the latest version of Lemmy but that won’t matter too much.

Edit: also, welcome back. Hope you like what we’ve done with the place.

what instance i use? currently just using the account i previously made.

You can’t access piracy communities like [email protected] from lemmy.world, so if you’re interested in that, you need to switch

If you don’t want it, I will take your username it’s awesome.

Why didn’t you stay two years ago?

Welcome back,

You’ll see the same communities/magazine no matter what’s the instance you use. However, some delay due to federation is possible, it’s espacially a problem with .world due to their relative weight.

The local feed means you’ll see post from your instance, which may-be interesting as you’ll see content you like if you choose a thematic instance, but it’s not a blocking feature.

Then there is a bunch of weird instance, like grad where right-winger are role-playing being leftist by shit-posting on how much they love Kim il sun or Vladimir Putin. these are defederated by most big instances and you won’t see their content (and believe me, you miss nothing)

No, it shouldn’t matter.

lemmy.world is fine, its just sometimes a bit slow. Welcome back!

.world defeterated with a couple of other instances accusing them of being tankies. You might be missing some content. Also, there has been some recent drama about mods at .world. Stupid rulings. I don’t think .world is a great place to be. But that’s just me.

Sometimes I post links and avoid .world because I want to ensure that they get full reach because of the defed issue.
