I moved off lemmy.world after looking for a large-ish server in the same country as me, and the difference in load times has been really quite impressive.

Lemmy.world seems broken at the moment...
Haven't seen a really recent update though.
You out there? What's up, man?
I've created multiple accounts and tried different instances out. If I am representative of the general population, I thought I had settled on one and then changed my mind like a week ago. A lot of it had to do with lag. If you can't use the thing, you try to use the other thing, and back and forth. I think it's a bit early to draw any conclusions from anything right now. Any software update or hack could turn things around at any moment. But, then again, maybe not. It's a maybe, maybe not situation.
Prolly also some people who heard about this fediverse thing and signed up to the most obvious instance and lost interest when it wasn't just like the old site.
