I joined this one because I just followed the obvious ways to sign up after looking up what Lemmy was about. I didn’t know about instances until I tried to sign in and had to find mine.

Is there a way to mess up making an alt by joining an unfit instance? From what I’ve read, it doesn’t really matter outside of an instance going down and your profile going with it.

Any help is appreciated.

    I want to make an alt for music, video games, general television, and anime. Do I just search those terms and check their sidebars?

        It seems a bit heavy for what I’m looking for. Politics in my time outside of the Internet already gives me a pounding headache.

      90% of instances should be fine, but, if in doubt while you are using this one, do a search for communities for the topics you care about, and either join the community that has the most of what you want, or check their linked/banned list to know which ones not to join.
