There are many lemmy instances in the world, but currently most people are using lemmy.world. This is why everything has gotten so slow.

I am planning on moving to lemmy.blahaj.zone soon-ish but I have 2 questions.

How do I move to another instance?
Can I move freely? For example, could I switch to lemmy.blahaj.zone to lemmy.world to kbin.social every day? I don;t like the idea of being "tied down" to an instance for a long time.

you can have accounts on multiple instances, go ahead and sign up. your info is NOT transferred, so you'll need to re-subscribe to your communities, and your posts stay on the instance you wrote them from.
