Lemmy.world is super big AND being attacked constantly. Smaller instances don't have these issues and they are stable and fast. You can still subscribe to everything from Lemmy.world and your instance will remain up even when Lemmy.world is down.
I'm on lemmy.today and it's fast and stable. Come join us and you will see.
Basically use the fediverse the way it was meant to be used.
Your instance only has two communities and they're both about Lemmy. Seems a bit boring to me. Sorry.
Local communities are totally irrelevant when deciding which instance should host your account.
I thought the point was to join communities. Am I wrong?
You can join any community on any instance from any other instance, as long as the admin hasn’t blocked it.
So I don't get the problem then.
… exactly?
Someone pointed out an advantage of smaller instances and you were the one that said small instances have a problem (lack of communities), and I’m the one pointing out that your supposed problem does not, in fact, exist.
TL;DR small instance good
Okay.
