Regional servers are also pretty cool for people who would like to mostly see posts from people who share their local culture and especially language - not just for "patriots".
Yeah, I joined a regional sever to have discussions on regional topics that usually don't get any attention ouside the region. I am not at all patriotic. It's the same reason I was subscribed to the city subreddits in my region.
I really think regional is the way to go. On reddit I mainly used local subreddits so it's awesome that we have lemmy.ca. Then with federation you can go view any content in the world.
That being said I understand the need for "larger" instances that are more generalized and for bigger conversations.
Exactly my thoughts too. I don't really have one unique thing I do online, I like to dabble in a bunch of things. So joining instance about a specific thing doesn't make the most sense for me, even though I still can access the rest of the fediverse.
