I want to create a Pixelfed account but I’m not sure which instance to choose. I’m in the US, so I was just going to pick the default and largest option, but I know spreading out the instances is one advantage to the federated network, so it then makes sense to choose a smaller one.

I had picked a smaller instance on Lemmy and it ended up being discontinued, which was kind of a bummer to restart the communities I had on there. So a larger instance looks attractive again.

Do any of you have a recommended instance that would maybe be on the smaller side, but also have a decent chance for continuing?

Are you having issues with cro.pics? No matter what browser or Pixelfed client I use, it crashes when I try to login.

I found out it was my phone. Every app eventually started having issues. Then it locked up on the boot screen. RIP
