Hey everyone. I'm a new to Lemmy after making a start to remove myself from big tech. Sorry if the questions are basic. First question is- how to choose which server as your 'home'. I chose feddit because I'm from the UK, but I live abroad- does that mean I should chose one only from the country I live in? And if you use a VPN does it matter anyway?

I came from reddit and it's not anywhere near as good unfortunately and obviously there are far fewer people on here, but I'm here to stay so want to make the best of it. TIA

The main thing is that it is federated with instances you want to see stuff from and defederated from instances you don't. Feddit.uk is probably fine. If it isn't as active, you can browse content from other instances. Tbh I just keep my main feed on "Everything" usually and get quite a lot of content.
