For me it was the default option when I was trying to figure out how to create a login. When I googled "how to sign up for Lemmy" world was the top search result. Before signing up, I had a basic understanding of how this this worked from when I tried out Mastadon. I had read that it mattered way less which instance you chose because most of them spoke to each other unlike Mastadon, which was a big reason Mastadon failed to hold my interest. Since the instance doesn't really matter, world was simply the easiest choice. I signed up, and downloaded the Connect app since it looks the most like Bacon Reader. So far everything works, makes sense, and I'm really enjoying everything!!

Oooh I have been waiting to see someone mention a BaconReader clone. I'm running Liftoff and it is perfectly serviceable and I appreciate the work the dev did to rejuvenate it from it's defunct state, but I miss BaconReader. Is it easy to download and install?

Yup, Connect is pretty to install and use. Be warned that like all fediverse stuff, it has some rough edges and bugs!
