The list of blocked instances might changed (check [myinstancena.me]/instances) and blocked users. Not every instances shows downvote. This make the all feed slighty different.
Your local feed will change a lot. In there you only see your instances community slrpnk.net is slorpunk oriented, feddit.it is italian speaking community and so on.
Your subscription feed will remain the same.
The list of possible interface will be different. That’s on web browser but I don’t know it affect application users.
Export your user data, find a different instance, and hop over there.
It’s practically effortless to change instances these days.
And you can keep your old account!
Or you could have an account on literally every instance, like blaze.
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list , sort by active users
Any instance of the top 15 is fine, be aware of .ml and lemmygrad political stances, and that Beehaw runs a very old version of Lemmy
FTFY.
To be fair, the top 30 or 40 are pretty solid.
Yes, but don’t go to Jlailu if you don’t speak French
And Feddit.org if you’re not German, unless you don’t mind reading German me_irl content
Or [email protected] being mostly in German
Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to have a German speaking instance, but it may not be for everyone
What would change practically if I switched instances, like how would my day to day be different? I honestly do not know much about the fediverse.
