Hey everyone. I'm a new to Lemmy after making a start to remove myself from big tech. Sorry if the questions are basic. First question is- how to choose which server as your 'home'. I chose feddit because I'm from the UK, but I live abroad- does that mean I should chose one only from the country I live in? And if you use a VPN does it matter anyway?

I came from reddit and it's not anywhere near as good unfortunately and obviously there are far fewer people on here, but I'm here to stay so want to make the best of it. TIA

I looked at Lemmy.world initially because it's the biggest server, but I signed up for Feddit.uk because I can see UK-related content in one place by viewing "local" posts on the home page ("local" just shows posts from your server, and "all" shows posts from across all Lemmy servers).

If I signed up for Lemmy.world then I wouldn't have that feed of just UK content when I want it. Instead I'd have to visit each UK-related community separately, I guess.
