lemmy.world or lemm.ee?
Which instance is better and why?

There’s too many people and communities on world. It’s good to spread out
-
Better for what? lemm.ee has had less controversies and is federated with more instances
-
Lemm.ee. Helps decentralizing from LW
-
Any third instance that is less generic and more catered to your interests or physical location would be better.
Also keep in mind that lemm.ee does not defederate from a lot of instances - this is bad if you care about a well-moderated space.
-
Neither. Never go for an instance thats at the top in terms of user count unless there is a specific reason to do so. This applies to all fediverse or decentralized services.
Go for any of the ones below the red line or sort this table by MAU and find one even further down. Excluding US based servers is also something to think about.

Counterpoint to this is that you may be in a dead instance that doesn't do updates or get maintained properly. You might sign on one day to find that you can't load any posts because the server is down or overloaded.
-
If an instance has multiple hundred active users, i doubt its going anywhere anytime soon. You can also just contact the admin of any server and ask how they fund it and what their future plans are. The "first seen" column also quickly gives you an idea of how long standing the server is.

Lemmy.ca is targeted at Canadians, feddit.org at German speakers (most of !main@feddit.org is in German). Blahaj is a trans-first space, programming.dev for programmers
Lemmy.zip and sopuli are indeed generalists

Almost anything is better than .world
-
Both. Why have one account? This isn't Reddit. Having alts on other servers is fine as long as you don't vote manipulate or use it for ban evasion.
-
Multiple accounts just gets exhausting
-
Don't like having one post on one account and another post on the other account
-
Man I enjoy federation just because I don't need multiple accounts
-
-
infosec.pub because lemmy.ml is de-feded

It’s just like the ‘What’s the best camera?’ Question.
Unless the instance your account is on has been defederated by a bunch of people and/or .world, the best account is the one you already have.

I'm a bit biased, but lemmee has great uptime and the admin is goodat maintaining the instance. There are monthly system and financial stats. For major changes to how things are run, they always post and ask for feedback from users, instead of just coming out with their own ruling.
They also leave it to the users to block instances they don't like. It can be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. If you want something more curated out-of-the-box, .world might be more up your alley. If you want to do it on your own, lemmee gives you more freedom to do so.
-
For general use more or less either of them, or dbzer0 or lemmy.ca or a few others you would have seen in your feed by now.
Localized instances are fine too, not sure if sync is still an issue, but if it is just view scaled, or 24hr or longer view.

Lemm.ee bcus dœsn't block piracy subs (registered this account before remembering lemmy.world blocks them , but tꝏ lazy to make account some where else and wish could export my (post|comment)s not just account settings)
