Does it not matter what server I make an account on? Can I just find a server where my name isn't taken so I can use it? (self.lemmy)

Was one of the reasons I picked the server I’m on.

The downside is if you are the first person on that server to subscribe to a community then the syncing of the posts and comments starts when you subscribe. So you might not get to see older content.

This is not really a big deal and you can always go to the originating server that hosts a community to read old stuff.
