Does it even make a difference? Would much appreciate some suggestions.

The Voyager app now defaults to lemmy.zip. I really like sh.itjust.works fwiw.

I also can vouch for sh.itjust.works. They have a fair defederation policy and has only gone down a couple times in the two years I’ve been using it. When it has the admin has been quick to address it and provides updates via a matrix chat.

The one downside is that some more niche domains have ~~degenerated~~ defederated (thanks autocorrect) from us due to the open enrolment we have (beehaw comes directly to mind). I recall someone linking a website that tracked what servers are federated with each other but I can’t find it now unfortunately.

One thing you should do is grab your data for easy moving, you haven't already.

Assuming you're using the default Lemmy web UI (not Voyager, or Photon, or a mobile app, or whatever), click on your username in the top right, and select "Settings".

On the settings page, there's a section called "Import/Export Settings". Click the "Export" button and let your browser download the file.

Then, when you switch instances, you can go into the same Settings page on the new instance, select the file you downloaded, and hit "Import" and you will automatically be resubscribed to the communities you subscribed to.

https://lemmy.zip/ is the closest imo.

I see a few people recommending lemmygrad, lemmy.ml and hexbear, I don't really think you'd enjoy those servers too much unless you are interested in leftism/communism.

also, people will assume you're a tankie just because your name ends with .ml 😞

If you have a favorite community you might take a look at the instance they’re hosted out of.

Beyond that, my general advice is to sort Lemmy instances by number of active users, then pick one that’s somewhere between the 10th and 20th largest.
