Neither am I. However, I have seen one or two people on ca that claim it's an instance "for Canadians", but that isn't the majority view.

Canadian news is mild compared to other instances and their admins rock. They just did some good hardware updates and the instance is fairly reliable. 10/10, would recommend. The author of my client (Connect) is also on that instance, and I contribute a bit to that community as well.

I could see some downsides if the occasional post in French would piss you off.

Dude, you can still come over. As a Canadian you have my permission. Yes, glad to see other folks said something good about Lemmy.ca. It is nice. I agree. :)

Yeah, i was being facetious. I was here. lol

I originally joined World like everyone else but pretty quickly left for Mander just to spread the load.
Almost two years ago now!

Just create a new account. The other account will continue to exists and so its posts. Does it matter to transfer them?

You could do what's discussed in this thread https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985

I just delete the old account and create a new one on the other instance. I have no interest in keeping a comment history. The internet and it's communities are a void for me. My social interaction, what little there is, is handled in meat space.
