I've created multiple accounts and tried different instances out. If I am representative of the general population, I thought I had settled on one and then changed my mind like a week ago. A lot of it had to do with lag. If you can't use the thing, you try to use the other thing, and back and forth. I think it's a bit early to draw any conclusions from anything right now. Any software update or hack could turn things around at any moment. But, then again, maybe not. It's a maybe, maybe not situation.

I made an alt on a smaller instance when all the trouble with lemmy.world was happening, and I was thinking of making the alt my main, but I'm too lazy to port all my subscribed communities over, so this is still where I'm gonna be. I still browse from my alt sometimes, because the feeds are different.
There's a script that can do the migration for you someone even mentioned it in this comment section. Edit: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
Also gonna throw my option out there: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
