Does it not matter what server I make an account on? Can I just find a server where my name isn't taken so I can use it? (lemmy.world)

Not a dumb question.. but some other things to consider:

  • moderation/rules
  • political leaning/community feel
  • geographic location... less important but can influence user experience

I was unable to determine any of these before I joined. It certainly isn't easy. Is there a simple way to learn about these qualities of instances?

I've found this repo comparing some different instances. No idea how accurate it is though.
