Joining PixelFed. Should I choose pixelfed.social or gram.social? (lemmy.wtf)

When I first joined Lemmy, I opened instance list and picked the instance when the easiest sign-up: lemmy.org. Then I wrote posts and comments to nothing for a week before realising it was defederated by all major instances and nobody sees my content. Ironic: I quit Reddit over a shadowban and my whole instance appears to be shadowbanned here. Then I joined an instance with downtime spikes resembling brush bristles.

I don't want to leave it up to chance this time. Pixelfed offers me these two options on sign-up. Which one is better?

Is this a iOS thing only?
