My reasoning was that it would be easier to find new communities passively (instead of searching for them) in the instance with the highest member count.
Joined today and it is laggy. Is this just a lemmy.world issue? Might sign up to a smaller instance if so.
It's having federation and stability issues right now because it's so ridiculously big.
Lemmy hasn't yet been optimized to handle so many users on a single server.
And yeah, the discoverability/finding communities to join is the weakest part of the Fediverse right now. You have to go to lemmyverse.net to search for communities across all instances and see their actual total member count, which isn't very user friendly and needs to be integrated into Lemmy itself like this GitHub issue says
As someone who started out joining lemmy.world first as well, but have now moved over to lemm.ee, I can say from personal experience that it is a lemmy.world issue. No need to submit yourself to such lag when you can just move over to a smaller and less strained instance.
Everything smoothly for me
