    I wish people would stop using this advice without some caveats. The instance you choose is also about the admins your choosing to have your account under.

    I’ll stay on Lemmy.world because I trust the admin there. Any time you jump to a new instance, you better hope it’s run by levelheaded, fair-minded people.

      You don’t have to jump to tiny < 100 user instances though, any instance within the top 10 is a good alternative to lemmy.world. If everyone thinks the same as you do, then there would be no point in federation.

          Y’know what, you’re right, but in an ideal federated world, it is probably for the best if people branch out further than just the top 10 as well. The instance I’m on probably is not even within the top 50, but it’s fast, performant, and has all my subscriptions. Not sure about the admins, but I also have alts on lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works in case this instance goes bust.
