Advice for now settled new Lemmy users. (lemm.ee)

Whether you are a Reddit refugee (I am one) or just randomly stumbled upon Lemmy and decided to join lemmy.world, welcome to the Fediverse.

If you have been here for long enough and settled in and now finally feel comfortable with Lemmy, I highly advice you to move to smaller instances. I just newly left Lemmy.world to join Lemm.ee.

We need to capitalize on the decentralized nature of the Fediverse and Lemmy instead of having everyone joining one instance. This will benefit the admins of Lemmy.world a lot as they would not have to deal with such a high amount of users. It also leaves room for new users to join and have a good experience rather than an experience filled with server outages where they will give up on Lemmy.

I moved to a smaller instance today. One thing that I've noticed that isn't the same, is the Top All Time is showing different posts and vote counts on certain subs. I think I've noticed it only happens in the subs that I've interacted from the small instance for the first time. Or, if someone from my small instance interacted with it last week, there will be 7 days of history, but nothing beyond that. IDK if that's true or not, just what I've observed today.

I've subscribed to all the same communities as when I was on lemmy.world, but my feed seems slower and quieter.

You are using lemmy.today, which as 12 monthly users based on https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list (the 1m column)

I would suggest trying out lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works (both more that 2k users), sopuli.xyz, reddthat.com (600 users). The previous link is usually a good way to find an instance that is populated, but not too much (the obvious bad choice being Lemmy.world)
