I opened an account in lemmy.world first, simply because I didn't know better. Then I realized that it'll be a good idea to stay on a smaller instance. Been with lemmy.sdf.org since and I'm pretty happy with it.

What are the advantages of being on a smaller instance?

Less people, lower chance of defederation. Also, faster servers, and I love SDF as an organization even beyond the fediverse.

I moved from lemmy.world to lemmy.ca. It just loads faster.

Ditto, but replace lemmy.sdf.org with vlemmy.
