Spread Out: How To Speed Up Lemmy (lemmy.fediverse.observer)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by miles to c/fediverse@lemmy.world
 

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

You don't have to delete your lemmy.world account, but check out https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/map it's a geo-based map of lemmy instances -- explore stuff nearest you, pick one, sign up, search , subscribe and begin interacting with your favorite communities. It's easy, free and it will be faster. Try it!

I joined https://lemmy.myserv.one but I have to resubscribe to all my communities? How can you avoid this and have it automatic?

I created this https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate to let you sync your different communities among your accounts.

Interesting. Too late as I resubscribed already but maybe will help others hopefully.

Damn, I wish I found this an hour ago! I just finished transferring over to blahaj.zone. I'll definitely use this in the future!

Are there more detailed instructions somewhere? I learned python for like a week and not sure what to do exactly

That's exactly what preventing me from switching to a more obscure instance. I don't want to redo my subs all over again

Kind of a big drawback and not the original impression I got when told all instances are federated so its the same everywhere and doesnt matter….

Switching might benefit lemmy.world but it was inconvenient and didnt benefit me much. The content is the same after resubbing but was a hassle. Unclear if I gained much personally doing it.
