Comment on Lemmy & Pangora Instance Selector

So when does the random instance is chosen? When the website is loaded? When the user clicks on a category?

Maybe currently there aren’t enough instances categorised on the website to get enough randomness.

Is there, or would there be, a weight in the randomness in order to chose closer instances based on the user’s location?

For example sh.itjust.works is an instance based in Canada. When the reddit exodus happened. That instance was slow due to the distance. While others closer to the western europe were faster because they where closer to me.

Tho rn, it’s about the same. So not sure.
