I had this exact issue last night and the same with feddit.uk. Either sign up is borked or it’s instability. The instances will get there eventually, things are just a lil weird right now.
This question may be moot but it’s something I’ve been thinking about. I’ve only recently jumped into this brave new world so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance....
There’s a lot here I’d not considered so this is helpful, thanks.
The splintering is an issue I’ve run into already. When I searched for squaredcircle on the assumption the subreddit community had started moving, I got results for five ‘squaredcircle’ communities across five different instances and none of them have a significant membership. I don’t want to further splinter the community by creating another community as you say, so I figured I’d just have to subscribe to all of them and wait to see which one takes off. I guess it’s going to be down to the subreddit mods to say “this is where we’re going”, if that’s even what they want to do. Until then it might be a bit daunting for those making the jump but it is what it is.
Indeed. I do feel slightly bad for jumping on lemmy.world and adding to the problem when it definitely isn’t the best one for me! I’ll probably move to a UK instance at some point. On apps, wefwef is a god send. Apollo is legitimately what I missed most after moving back from iOS to Android, so to be able to use an Apollo-like again is amazing. To see some of the third party Reddit devs making apps for Lemmy is exciting and I think bodes well for the future of the platform.

Is there 'etiquette' for choosing which instance your migrated subreddit is hosted on?

[META] I spoke to the mod of this community
Thought this required its own post as we might need to create a new community....
