If you’re on one of the bigger instances (lemmy.world for example) use https://lemmyverse.net/ to pick a smaller, less crowded instanceto call home.

I created an account on reddthat.com earlier today, and it’s way less laggy than lemmy.world (my initial instance).

Hopefully in time lemmy gains functionality thatmakis account backup/porting easy so moving instances in nbd.

Lemmy at least needs a feature like Mastodon to allow you to migrate your accounts to another instance.

Or even simpler, a feature that lets you aggregate history, posts, comments and subscriptions from multiple instances in a transparent way.

Sort of a meta-account / fedacount that tells all Lemmy instances that accounts a, b, c, and d are all the same user.

Doesn’t that kind of go against the idea of federation? I don’t know if it’s worth compromising on.

aggregating so many different cats community into one feed is a dream🤩🐱.

Right now i subscribe to 5 different technology@<instances>, but if i could create a custom community set according to my preferences then i could see all those 5 in one layout, without breadmaking and other contents breaking them up. the choice now is all posts from all communities or only one specific community.

So to move instances you have to create a new account there, right?
