I watch quite a bit of YouTube. Favorite channels right now (in no particular order):

Anders Erickson-cocktail recipes, tips and general banter Steve Wallis-relaxing camping videos Snazzy labs-tech/apple Becki and Chris-helicopters, photography, DIY MrMobile-phone reviews Rctestflight-all sorts of drone/3D printing/electric vehicle projects Digital Foundry-in depth technical game/console videos The Proper People - relaxing urban/abandoned exploration TheUnlockr-phone reviews/tech vlogs

Instagram has a following tab, you have to tap the logo at the top and switch it. It also reverts back to the algorithm frequently so have to constantly switch it around.

I moved over to lemm.ee when .world was loading really slow. Still here, no reason to go back really.

macOS.

3 (4 if you count kbin). Beehaw (which took weeks to be approved) so moved to Lemmy world, which is now overloaded and slow so Lemm.ee which is snappy and fast.

Lemmy world seems really bogged at the moment. I’d suggest considering a smaller instance if you want snappy performance. I moved to lemm.ee for now and it’s a lot quicker.

I’m gonna guess that just being on a less busy server will make the biggest difference. I moved from lemmy world and lemm.ee is super fast even though I’m pretty sure both are across the ocean from me.
