I tried one called Lemmur that I downloaded off F-Droid, however, it can not find this instance (lemmy.world). I want one that’s open-source, and preferably from F-Droid (because screw Google). Which one do you guys use?

So, I’m not sure why I would switch instances (I’m very new). Do I need new account on that instance then? I’ve heard about different front pages or something. I’m still confused.
I downloaded Connect on your recommendation though. Thanks!
I’m very new too but my understanding is that each instance can have it’s own specific content. But, you can see all content from any instance if you sort by “all.” If you sort by “local” then you will only get posts from the instance that you’re logged in to. If you go to subscribed then you’ll just get stuff you’ve subscribed to in that instance. Could be wrong tho lol
This link will help explain migrating from Reddit and what instances are and how they work independently and simultaneously at the same time. You don’t have to create an account for every instance. You can follow another instance as a guest, you just won’t be able to interact with any comments or upvoting/downvoting. Think of them as separate websites under the same platform that can all coexist independently but still interact with each other. But this helped me out a bunch! https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy
