      Meanwhile, me on kbin.social doing 90% of my reading and posting on lemmy.world.

      I love the interface here. But the content leaves much to be desired.

        lemmy.world is great to start on but I want to switch to a smaller but more local instance really. I dont know how to search for an instance thats in my region

          What region?

          There are lots of tools that list instances but ultimately it might be better to ask for opinions.

              Hopefully someone finds this and can suggest something.

              I had a look on https://lemmyverse.net but there don’t seem to be any location-based servers for the south east. Perhaps pick a general US-based server, or one themed around a hobby?

              Probably go to a few and check the local feed. The main difference between servers will be the local feed, so find a server where that’s somewhat active and has content you want to see. I think it’s a good idea to aim for a server with 500-5,000 users so the local feed is somewhat useful.
