For someone who just wanted to be able to interact and hadn't a clue what anything was I figured world was the biggest. I think I kind of underatand how this works now? Though making a log in was much less intuitive and simple than anything else I feel I've ever come across.

Basically thought process was the word "world" encompasses a lot of places. It's probably big and I'm tired of scrolling through stuff so I'll use that.

Edit so if I make a new account or transfer this one or something to whatever the main one is will stuff load faster?

Going to a smaller instance might make things load faster because the smaller servers are under less strain. Tho some of the bigger servers are handling the influx of new users really well.

It also depends on what app youre using. I found jebora to be very slow/buggy. Connect for lemmy has wirked alot better for me.

Also a heads up: i think tools for transfering accounts to another server are still in development. So for the times being going to a different server means making a new account.

Gotcha. Yeah jebora is what I am currently using and did sort of suspect some issues are from it. Still getting used to it all so testing waters as I find them.
