Thank you for choosing well!
I had no idea using .world was a bad thing tbh, I just made a backup on another instance in case I lost access. Guess I'll swap to using it full time.
Can you explain this to me in very simple terms? What's the problem with .world? When I signed up I was told it was just the most broad, sort of "default" instance. What's wrong with it? Is there one with a larger user base I should be on instead?

Please do!
It’s not bad. If you check the modlogs of most of the people crying about it, you’ll find that many of them are either banned, or have had their shit removed for being debate trolls.
There is a lot of “free speech for me, not for thee” people around here, as they stir up shit in .world and then run to their instances where anyone that disagrees with them is banned. Then they accuse .world of bias.
As someone fairly new to Lemmy, y'all should just try making informative posts. I see lots of posts exactly like this, but there's never any substance. What exactly did those instances do to earn their reputation? Start there. I'm close to blocking some communities because the lore just has no entry point so why bother.
Basically:
It helps to adopt the mantra of "block early, block often". Sometimes you can salvage a community merely by blocking one (or a few) posters/commentors, other times it helps to block the entire community (on PieFed there are additional options beyond merely Subscribed vs. All vs. Local, but on Lemmy you have to jump through all of these hoops, so yeah, blocking helps a ton).
There are occasionally lore posts but people vary SO MUCH in what they consider "good" or not that it is hard to have those conversations without them devolving into shouting matches - unfortunately some people are not content to allow others to have their preferences without things like trolling and brigading and going through someone's entire comment history and downvoting literally everything they've done, etc.
But keep watching, occasionally those lore posts do come up every now and then.

I left lemmy.world because of how they dealt with the piracy thing and how they blocked instances
How did they deal with piracy? And why block instances
They tended fo defederate from instances too easily and they defederated from the piracy instance which is dbzer0 or something similar to that
They eventually backtracked on defederating from the piracy instance but I don't like that they made that decision in the first place
