How should we be using Lemmy?
It only really matters for the "local" feed which instance you choose. I don't really see much point to that one honestly, except if you're on something like startrek.website where "local" is "show me all star trek stuff", or something similar.
And yes, it is important to spread out the user base across multiple servers and not all end up on lemmy.world.
So I'd say find some smaller instance, maybe with a community actually physically local to you, and make that your main one. Or don't and stay on lemmy.world, I'm not your dad.
Perpetual plug to my userscript which changes all links to point to your home instance to make this even easier :)

That's reddit from 8+ years ago you're talking about, and small communities. Reddit has long been a mainstream community now, and we all know how the average person is.

What are your favorite active communities on Lemmy?
I like [email protected]. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there's lots of discussions happening in the comments.
I wish 😭 I'm so alone

If you're from the US, I think the alternative options are to 1. die, 2. pay smaller things out of pocket, go bankrupt on larger ones 3. try to get citizenship in a better country

As someone who used /r/all before, what you say is exactly the same as I'm used to. Maybe sort by "Hot" though. Reddits algorithm is somewhere between "Hot" and "Active" here. Active is too slow, hot is too fast.

Why we need to move on from kbin.social

But you're not "actually" moving to a smaller place. You can still see everything. You're still in the fediverse.

Can someone tell me the reason why these people don't want to leave Reddit?

It's important to note that the default state of people is being dumb. It takes effort, exposure and more qualities/circumstances during a person's early years to not be dumb.
Many people just didn't grow up in an environment that allows that, it's actually a quite specific one that doesn't happen automatically.
And once the early life phase is over, mental plasticity is a lot lower, so very very few people go from "dumb" to "not dumb".
If you want to be less dumb, I can really recommend https://lesswrong.com/rationality

Dadurch, dass Leute, die auf dem Poll voten, nicht aus der gleichen Region kommen, wird das Ergebnis wahrscheinlich doch relativ repräsentativ werden.

lemmy.ml is on 0.18 so jerboa 0.34 doesn't work with it, only 0.35. Shouldn't crash but well...
Honestly I'd suggest using the browser, the web interface works perfectly well on mobile. If you use Firefox or any other browser that can install UserScripts, you can add some useful ones like https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-rewrite-links-to-home-instance and https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469196-gm-lemmy-newtab

Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?

Because setup is easier, Docker basically sets up a completely new environment for the app to live in mostly isolated from your main system, so all the stuff you installed on your system has no effect on it.

Shortcut to go to YOUR instance from ANY Sublemmy
Ahem, if you want this done automatically for all URLs on all websites everywhere, you could use this: https://feddit.de/comment/543412 or https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher (I made this)
- If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header.

I usually keep stuff to seed until 3.0 ratio or longer if I'm keeping the files. If it's just taking really long and I need the drive space at 1.0 or even earlier. That should be ok right?
