I'm on dbzer0, which is an instance for pirates and anarchists. But I found it by having an account on a random instance and browsing lemmy for a long time before choosing to move here.

Just don't get too attached to where your account is, feel out the fediverse, and then you can decide.

I'll try to keep that in my mind. So far it feels like the "local" and "all" selections in Boost, which I guess come from world, are not very varied. Reddits' r/all is just everything, which is great. It gives you a very varied, unfiltered (seemingly) feed

Local will just show content from the instance you're logged into. In your case it's lemmy.world. All means content from world and instances federated with world. All is everything, but all of lemmy is still tiny compared to reddit so it just doesn't move that fast. I usually sort by active and that keeps things fresh. "Active last x hours" also works nicely.

I think that's what I need to remember, Reddit is absolutely humongous compared to Lemmy.

Honestly the only thing wrong with world is it blocks db0's piracy community. Beyond that it's pretty inoffensive to the general fediverse.

Also blocks Tor and tried to push a Zionist "fact check" bot

Similar rules to Reddit. You can get busted for saying “eat the rich” because it’s supposedly a call for violence.
