Wouldn't it better for you to use https://monyet.cc/, the Malaysian instance?

I kind of noticed that it's a bit slower if the ping is high (another continent)
On which continent are you located?
(mastodon.social is also about ~25% of masto)
Mastodon was actively pushing to be the default instance.
This criticism was co-joined with the criticism that the Mastodon organisation had set the mastodon.social as the default instance during the signup flow on the apps. While the frustrations are understandable and there are certainly valid criticisms on that decision, crypto spammers do not manually sign up via the official app, making it more of an airing of grievances than actual critique on the spam defense policy by mastodon.social.

Lemmy's community seems to be aware of the issue, and hopefully it will resolve over time.
Floorp is available on desktop, while Mull is mostly Android
I'm talking about desktop experience, but sure...?
In this context it's just faster to type, and not really ambiguous.
I’d fear instead that centralisation is pretty sticky without some massive failure and wouldn’t expect much movement in the proportion of users on lemmy.world.
It happened in August during the long DDoS attacks on LW.
I guess here it's less prevalent because the site is still accessible, and most of the users don't really follow closely the Lemmy versions.
Enjoy, feddit.de is a great instance
Thank you!
Matter of fact, I’m gonna have a charcuterie board for breakfast!
Enjoy!
But wouldn’t it be great if the knitting community (for example) on beehaw.org, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and feddit.de would be merged for me into one entity for a better browsing experience?
Why wouldn't they merge on one instance? Seems easier, and can be done today compared to having to ask the developers to implement a complex feature.
I'm the opposite, I work from home most of the time, so it's good so see people once in a while :)
