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

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.
Wow didn't know this was an option. Need to migrate my off of lemm.ee then. Thanks for the heads up.
Thank you so so much for showing how to export it. I didn’t want to have to start from scratch in trying to figure out who I followed and who I didn’t. Appreciate it once and again.
Great, I am using voyager. How do I achieve the same goal?
You'll have to use a browser. Navigate to lemm.ee/settings.
Done that, now how do change servers? Feel free to direct me to tech support if this is not your idea of fun
Press the export button and save the file to your device.
Now find a new instance and import that file.
Edit: follow-up questions welcome
Later on when you successfully sign up on a different Lemmy instance just go into your new user's profile settings again (exactly how you just did for https://lemm.ee/settings but it'll be [YOUR-NEW-LEMMY-INSTANCE]/settings, in there under "Import/Export Settings" look for the Import section and there you can import the file you just exported.
PS - For a quick overview of Lemmy instances you can check out https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active&open=true and/or https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Create a new account on the new server. You can do it in Voyager and just pick a server from the list, or go to that server's website in a browser.
just find another instance and make an account there, I just moved from lemm.ee cause lemmy.today was recommended in the comments on a post about the shutdown.
Voyager doesn't have the ability to do this in the app, you will have to use a browser
