    I’ve been trying to find a smaller instance and I tried a couple, they see waaaaaay different things. I can’t even see lemmy.world on one of them. I might have to keep all of the instances and just jump around.

      Thats what I do. It’s a strength of the fediverse, and most of the apps handle account swapping pretty seamlessly.

        What apps do you recommend for swapping instances?

        I have tried Jerboa and Connect. Both allow me to swap accounts from the main menu, but I am brought back to me default start view and not the community/thread I was looking at.

          I really like Liftoff for this. You can choose instances on the fly while posting, searching, or reading comments without losing your spot.

          It’s really nice.

            I love it too. In case you didn’t know, you can just lurk on other instances without having to have an account by adding just the instance.

              I noticed that, because I went to add my beehaw account that I had created when I joined Lemmy, but I guess beehaw deleted it for being inactive or something. Beehaw still shows up on my instance list, and I kind of wish I could remove it.

      I tried lemm.ee and it’s cool but I see so many hexbear posts on the All tab from like any of their communities spewing hate and it’s frustrating to scroll past

        Yeah, that’s a nah from me for that very reason. Those people should be shouting that stuff in their bathroom, not in a place where others have to hear it.

        I believe there is a way to block instances, I don’t know if it blocks comments but i believe it would block the posts

        Yeah, seeing some of the stuff instances allow (or promote!) has definitely made me cognizant of who I federate my own public instance with.
