    Maybe you shouldn’t even have had your account on the largest server to begin with?

    Maybe I didn’t have my crystal ball nearby when I was creating my Lemmy account.

    Maybe many users will have an account on the largest server, because by definition it’s the largest server, with the most users. 🙄

      I highly recommend opening a lurking account in one of the NSFW instances. They are probably some of the fastest, most progressive and best funded instances on Lemmy. You do not have to browse the NSFW content.

      It’s so easy to change instances, and there are extensions and things to export/import your subscriptions, etc. Just head over to one ones that’s hosting the content, or check out others to see if they will keep federated with the pirate communities. Make the same username, and most won’t even know that you’re posting from a different instance. You can still see everything you did before, just also possibly some other stuff. You might also get beehaw and hexbear (for better or for worse is up to you)! I feel like I might hop instances a few more times before I settle.

          Okay, you’re not on Reddit anymore where things are just easy because they spent time to figure it out. Fediverse is just a fledging group of sites that are getting an influx of users, while still trying to figure out both their instance, and cooperative rules that fit both their values and the wants/needs of their users. You want a well oiled machine, jump back into the mainstream where they use your data to personalize the adds they place between all the things you want to see. Or, you can go with the flow as this new ecosystem forms, sans ads, and free of data collection.

          It’s fine if you’re not ready.

          Hey. It’s me, the other instance. How about we meet up?

        Can you make a recommendation for a tool to migrate “subscriptions etc.”? I’m using Connect if that makes a difference.

        Also, Lemmy.world has been very unreliable lately anyway. Does Lemmy.ee have a good reliability record?

      because by definition it’s the largest server, with the most users. 🙄

      Which generally means it’ll be the slowest and most overloaded. With federated systems, it’s best to avoid large instances.
