    The particular instance doesn’t matter too much as long as it hasn’t defederated from other instances you care about & vice versa - since you can still see, post, & interact with content from other instances. I made accounts on .ml and .dbzer0.

      It matters significantly. Depending on the users the all feed is totally different. US politics are almost non existent on szmer.info

      Defederation is a secondary point.

        All is dependent on what instances your home instance is federated with. Federation/defederation by your home instance determines what you see in All.

        Szmer.info is federated with lemmy.world, so you would be able to see politics@lemmy.world, which has US politics. Unless you’ve filtered things out of your feed, but that’s different.

      I made an account on .ml as well but noticed a bunch of comments weren’t showing up when I was viewing posts on .ml which is unfortunate

        ml is better to be avoided unless you’re an extremist or want to become one. Well, Lemmy as a whole is very extremist, which is my biggest issue with it, so… still here.

        Huh. Comments shouldn’t be affected, as I understand it, just posts from defederated instances won’t show up. For instance, .ml is defederated from any and all porn instances - so porn doesn’t show up in my feed. I wonder if it could be a delay in the comments showing up, not actually an absence of those comments?

        Either way, plenty of good instances to join that are less defederated than .ml
