Advice for now settled new Lemmy users. (lemm.ee)

Whether you are a Reddit refugee (I am one) or just randomly stumbled upon Lemmy and decided to join lemmy.world, welcome to the Fediverse.

If you have been here for long enough and settled in and now finally feel comfortable with Lemmy, I highly advice you to move to smaller instances. I just newly left Lemmy.world to join Lemm.ee.

We need to capitalize on the decentralized nature of the Fediverse and Lemmy instead of having everyone joining one instance. This will benefit the admins of Lemmy.world a lot as they would not have to deal with such a high amount of users. It also leaves room for new users to join and have a good experience rather than an experience filled with server outages where they will give up on Lemmy.

Not an option for me yet. Especially after I found out some instances federate messages slowly. Like up to an hour late slowly.

There isn't any significant delay in the top 10 instances: https://aftershock.lemmy.management/public/dashboards/oT7pdcoeHWccpvZCNmTpJKoGZND8ZdRO3wDWpMug?org_slug=default

The only exception is dbzer0, but I guess they are upgrading at the moment

That hasn't been my experience. Unless 18.3 recently changed the situation.

But this post is about smaller instances. Not the top 10

OP mentioned moving to Lemm.ee, which is top 5
