Lemmy.world is a large instance and thus has a lot of communities. Your local feed will be very robust as opposed to if you go to a very small instance or a self hosted one.
Picking too small of an instance could mean the admin might decide they get bored with it one day or can't keep it up for whatever reason. You will lose your account entirely this way.
