I initially had no idea how to select an instance or what that would impact, so I joined a random one but didn't take long to realize that the instance doesn't have much activity and most of what it does have is about truckers. Nothing against truckers but that isn't super applicable to me. After messing around a little I also realized that it's possible the server will just disappear, which could happen to any of them but I thought a larger instance might have more staying power (or maybe not I really have no idea).
