How do you choose an instance and does that have a significant effect on your Lemmy experience? - eviltoast

I originally chose to make my account on lemmy.world since all the content seemed to come from there. But I’ve since learned that I can fill my feed with stuff from any instance so it feels like it doesn’t actually matter if I’m on lemmy.world or not. At the same time, Lemmy.world seems to be frequently under attack so I’m wondering if I should change instance but have no idea what I should even be looking for when choosing.

    Yeah the All feed shows you the communities that you and all your instance-mates follow, but not every community in existence.
