What instance of Lemmy would you recommend to use, lemmy world or something else? (lemmy.world)

I'm still trying to get used to Lemmy; the main thing confusing me is the federated bit.

I just want to access Lemmy and its content; how do I do that? Currently I'm just going to old.lemmy.world and using that as a starting point.

Is there another instance you would recommend as the default one?

The two main reasons I ask are:

I want to know if there are things I am simply missing out on and there's a better way to browse Lemmy.
I really don't like cloudflare and have it disabled in Javascript. I don't want to leave it enabled for lemmy.world.

I think Lemmy.zip has a policy to stay federated with as much of the Fediverse as they can, so that might be an option.

In general I tend to recommend smaller, either interest-specifc or local, language-specific instances first, though, as using those lets you actually utilise the /Local feed the way it's intended.

Though they're the only instance UK folk cannot access.

Ah right, I forgot that. VPNs work though, don't they?

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

I don't know. Don't use a VPN for browsing Lemmy.

what's stopping them from accessing other instances?

Recommend feddit.uk for them. You are welcome.
