I moved to .zip for the similar federation style, not being part of the big instance fighting, using the latest lemmy version, and defederated from Threads.

But man, migrating to another instance made me really appreciate what @sunaurus@lemm.ee has done. I immediately noticed how .zip, while also maintained well by the instance admins, is noticeably slower than .ee. They also have issues with image proxying for alexandrite, which .ee doesn’t have.

Not a knock on .zip though. I do intend to make it my new home instance. Rather, it’s more of how .ee was exceptionally ran.
