No, I meant the instance itself. The server. The one who runs lemmy.ca is here in Canada with me.
It's like when playing a game; You choose servers closet to you for the lowest ping time.
The other reason I neglected to mention was I like to support local. 😎
Agreed. I went with lemmy.ca since I'm Canadian and the instance is in my country.
I also heard Lemmy should perform a little quicker for me too this way.
They have over a billion monthly users, so I'm not sure they're dead. Unless you were being sarcastic.
But... You reminded me I've been wanting to look into using PixelFed.
Connect for Lemmy has you covered. If you're on Android.

Else, you can try WefWef.app which also worked really well as a web app. It has gesture support.
In Canada, for years, you were almost a fool for not upgrading your device every two years. The "regular" plans we all had involved a 2-yr contract in which time your phone would be paid off. But after that term was up, the monthly bill remained exactly the same. It was stupid, but a lot of Canadians just said, "Welp. Might as well upgrade then." Then the CRTC here stepped up and told the big three carriers here to knock it off.
I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ that I held onto for three and a half years. That was the longest I'd ever kept a smartphone. It was going strong too. Alas, I found out security updates were knocked down to quarterly from monthly. And after this year, it would receive nothing more. I reluctantly looked into the Galaxy S23 Ultra as a replacement and thanks to a good deal, I have that phone now. It's an amazing device too and I hope it carries me for another 3+ years.
Just keeping you in your toes.

I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Could be the novelty of everything, but I'm liking it more than Reddit. And like I've seen many here say, I tend to respond and have conversations here more often.
Plus, Connect for Lemmy is very nice on my Android phone. I was waiting for Sync of Lemmy to arrive, but I'm not so sure I'll switch.
I'm on lemmy.ca and I get the same thing. Doesn't matter if I'm using an app or desktop. I made an account on lemmy.world and the same happens.
But, the subscriptions are working and appearing in my main feed, so I assume it's just a bug that'll get fixed eventually.
When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?
