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 started on lemmy.world but am currently writing this from discuss.online, a lemmy instance I found in the greater NYC area because that's where I'm based. It has the same access to all the communities and content that lemmy.world does and because it's nearby and has fewer users it's fast! Signing up and setting up my subscriptions only took a few minutes. I still have a lemmy.world account, but I don't need to use it all the time.

Hi fellow discuss.online person!

I'm finding it has zero issues out here in Utah too. Just hoping it grows some additional communities outside of nerf for my local feed ๐Ÿ˜‚
