Question about instances (self.asklemmy)

I have been on Lemmy for a while now but never posted anything as a new post so please forgive me if I am doing anything wrong.

I see that I am part of lemmy.world and that this instance is frowned upon.

Is there a better instance I can join? I am not very clued up on Lemmy and as far as I can see it is made up of lots of different sites which are linked together.

I just want to be part of a healthy group and I am just getting into astronomy so are there any good groups for that please?

If it helps I am based in the UK.

Have a great weekend all.

Edit: sorry for the late response another 6 day week at work. Thank you all so much for the very useful advice!

Lemm.ee: It's the Switzerland of the fediverse. ;)

The Operations Team are a stand-up group. Their focus is on delivering stability.

You'll basically get access to all content (and all "features", like up-vote and down-vote - I'm looking at you beehaw).

What I've heard from other people is that they want automagic curated content... so you won't find that a lemm.ee, but for me - I'm happy to find the content that's meaningful to me.
