You dont have to be in Australia. Search for any instance here - https://lemmyverse.net/ which has less users, recent update and good uptime. Join and subscribe to communities in lemmy.world or any other instance.
I know how to search for them, but I'm not from Australia so it seems irrelevant to me.
My dude(ette) they are saying for you to pick any smaller instance with good uptime and recent updates. Not the Australian one specifically.
Any of those smaller instances are likely to be faster than the much bigger ones.
I've thought about joining a smaller instance too but I'm not from Australia either.
(/s where needed)
And nothing is stopping you from joining the Australian one either. Yeah, you'll get a bit more latency, but it's not going to matter much for something like lemmy.
