Reason: Smaller instances will often run better, and also the whole point of the fediverse is not being centralized
But how do you reliably find large active communities? I’m still new around here! Like if I’m into movie discussions, how do I know if I picked one that has like 5 subs on some obscure small instance vs one with a big subscriber base.
Check out lemmyverse.net/communities, it'll let you search (almost) everything without being limited by your instance, and you can sort by whatever criteria you want.
As someone new to all this, thank you so much!!
No worries! Feel free to ask if there's anything else you're still hung up on.
