Interesting. Too late as I resubscribed already but maybe will help others hopefully.

Kind of a big drawback and not the original impression I got when told all instances are federated so its the same everywhere and doesnt matter….
Switching might benefit lemmy.world but it was inconvenient and didnt benefit me much. The content is the same after resubbing but was a hassle. Unclear if I gained much personally doing it.
I joined https://lemmy.myserv.one but I have to resubscribe to all my communities? How can you avoid this and have it automatic?
This is whats kind of not clear to me. While its clear what the benefit is for lemmy.world or some instance you move from, its less clear what the benefit for the individual moving is such as myself. I have more risk, its a hassle, the smaller server might itself get overloaded or break. Sometimes it feels ‘safer in numbers’. Unsure. Feels like I would be best off if everyone else moved and took on the risk while I stayed and reaped the benefits of them reducing the load rather than me doing it.
