I joined Lemmy a few days ago under the lemmy.world instance and want to keep it as my main instance, but it’s being pretty laggy.

I don’t have access to a computer to ping each instance so am wondering if there’s a mobile way to do so.

      Yea ended up choosing a pretty popular one near me, hopefully they don’t shut down or something though. Thanks!

        small instances are the best, remember it will take some time before new subscriptions start flowing into the server esp if you are the first person to sub to a remote community.

          Yeah I’m still trying to figure that stuff out. I can find my username from lemm.ee but not the community that I made there. Same with kbin, I can find my lemm.ee user but can’t find the community for the life of me.

            step one, make sure you are searching for the community with the right format

            !<communityname>@<server>

            you might need to try a couple times and wait a min, its slow with no ui indicator that its still working

            if that fails, get a link to a post from the community (be sure to use the community’s home instance) and search for that. Once again it may take a few attempts and some waiting. If it fails, just try again tmw, sync things.

      Thanks so much for this. I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out which instance is actually near me. Join-lemmy instance descriptions really should include servers’ general locations.

      It’s weird. My instance is hosted on a VPS in New Jersey, but shows here in Mexico. The company I rent the server from doesn’t have a data center in Mexico
