So I’m totally new to federated apps and just joined the biggest one figuring it’d be the most reliable.

I understand the downside of all/local filtering being less useful on smaller instances, but I don’t use those anyway, so would be curious about a couple of things if anyone has advice:

How would you go about choosing an instance assuming reliability/speed was all you cared about?
Is there somehow a way to transfer the topics I subscribe to/content I’ve submitted to a new instance, or would I basically just be starting over if I switched?

Of course location is not a guarantee of fast speeds, but you can at least check servers nearby with https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/map. I guess you can check for uptime to have an idea about reliability, but I never really relied on that. Shit happens (vlemmy comes to mind) so it's hard to gauge an instance's future reliability/stability. You have the option to start your own instance as well.
