Export your user data, find a different instance, and hop over there.

It's practically effortless to change instances these days.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list , sort by active users

Any instance of the top 15 is fine, be aware of .ml and lemmygrad political stances, and that Beehaw runs a very old version of Lemmy

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Any instance of the top 16 is fine

FTFY.

To be fair, the top 30 or 40 are pretty solid.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but don't go to Jlailu if you don't speak French

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And Feddit.org if you're not German, unless you don't mind reading German me_irl content

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

Or !main@feddit.org being mostly in German

Don't get me wrong, it's great to have a German speaking instance, but it may not be for everyone

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

And you can keep your old account!

Or you could have an account on literally every instance, like blaze.

What would change practically if I switched instances, like how would my day to day be different? I honestly do not know much about the fediverse.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 3 months ago

The list of blocked instances might changed (check [myinstancena.me]/instances) and blocked users. Not every instances shows downvote. This make the all feed slighty different.
Your local feed will change a lot. In there you only see your instances community slrpnk.net is slorpunk oriented, feddit.it is italian speaking community and so on. Your subscription feed will remain the same.
The list of possible interface will be different. That's on web browser but I don't know it affect application users.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 21 points 3 months ago

Just switch instances, folks. I like .ee; there's lots of other good ones, too

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where are you located? Seems normal here in Europe

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm in Europe too. Is not unusable, just a bit slow to charge the pages.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Try deleting all stored browser data for lemmy.world and then log in again.

Lemmy.world is on an old version that still has a bug that makes it accumulate excessive amounts of brower storage and that slows down your browser.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, that's what people have been mentioning in the last Lemmy dev announcement

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 10 points 3 months ago

Its only really noticable on older accounts. When I deleted it it was like 3GB of data. But I think OPs 2 year old account might be affected.

But it is not a fix all solution.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 5 points 3 months ago

Discuss.Online is really fast for people in the USA. Being in Europe, you might check out sopuli.xyz?

[–] Hellstormy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

If there only was a solution to that in this decentral and federated platform...

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Okay, today it is indeed slow
