Does it even make a difference? Would much appreciate some suggestions.

Might i recommend lemmynsfw.com?

Does it really matter where you go? It's all federated together anyway, that's the whole point, isn't it?

If you have a favorite community, move to its instance - /All is showing what all the people on your instance are subscribed to so if you're on an instance with people you like, c/All will probably have more things you like. Also /Local shows you local posts from your instance which is cool if you're on a theme instance.

A really small instance may have less /All content (but if you're on any instance over 500 people it's probably plenty)

Just keep in mind you might have to instance hop again if your chosen instance goes down, but that's OK.

Hmm. Do any of the apps allow you to seamlessly manage more than one?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Most do yes, since that's how Lemmy works in general

The default web frontend has no such provision. If SDF is down I have to go and navigate to my backup instance like a peasant.

Maybe I should switch to an app. The only trick is that I'll have to hack it a little bit to make sure it always launches over Tor. Unless I get on Qubes soon.

Well yeah a web front-end wouldn't have that as it's intrinsically tied to the instance lol

I know. I was slightly butthurt at the suggestion I'm Lemmying wrong, though. Without third party software, movement between instances isn't seamless right now, just possible.

Oh, lol definitely didn't mean to imply that haha, was just saying all the apps I've tried (I literally only use mobile to access Lemmy) have the ability to add and swap between accounts on different instances :)

I'm new to this but I've found Voyager has served me really well so far. I have two accounts now lemm.ee is going.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Does it provide a way to sync subscriptions across as well?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I believe so. If you click the cog wheel (settings) in voyager and scroll down you have an option to backup / restore and I would assume you could use that?
