Most servers that I am interested on joining are hosted in Europe/US. The ping on those servers are usually 200-400 ms compared to big mastodon instances like fosstodon.org and universeodon.com (20-50 ms). Would this affect the responsiveness in a noticeable way?
I kind of noticed that it’s a bit slower if the ping is high (another continent)
On which continent are you located?
Around Southern Asia. The lowest ping time here is misskey.io (~10 ms) but… I don’t think it would be in my best interest to have doujins in my local timeline
Wouldn’t it better for you to use https://monyet.cc/, the Malaysian instance?
