    That’s exactly what preventing me from switching to a more obscure instance. I don’t want to redo my subs all over again

      Kind of a big drawback and not the original impression I got when told all instances are federated so its the same everywhere and doesnt matter….

      Switching might benefit lemmy.world but it was inconvenient and didnt benefit me much. The content is the same after resubbing but was a hassle. Unclear if I gained much personally doing it.
