Somewhere on your instance page, usually at the bottom, you can click "instances" and see which are federated and not.
Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately?

Reading the comments here brings up a question I’ve had. Does it really make any difference what instance I’m on? I thought the whole benefit of federation was that it does not matter where I’m coming from.

It 100% does. I’m on 3 to get different flavors of Lemmy. I was on 4, but left an instance because of tone.

Yeah it kinda does, WHEN YOUR INSTANCE IS ALWAYS DOWN AAAARGH

It does kinda matter.
If the instance you are on defederates from another instance, you wont see the defederated instance’s content.
IIRC, the only thing you would really miss on Lemmy.World would be Hexbear. Maybe Exploding Heads? I don’t recall the entire list. But they’re all dipshit trolls, so nothing of value is actually being lost.
