It was a "alternatives to American apps/sites" on Reddit that got me here
just a heads up, the instance you're on is pretty controversial.
I thought the whole point of Lemmy was that it didn't matter what instance you joined. Can I move my account, or do I need to make a new one on a new instance?
The reason it doesn't matter is because they all interoperate, unless one of them is a problem and needs to be cut off. Yours isn't the worse but some people do have a negative opinion of it. If anyone decides to de-federate you won't be able to see posts from there but this probably doesn't matter a whole lot unless the instance you are on is a total pariah
