If I’m Voyager user who’s lemm.ee profil is about to shut down, is there anything I should take into consideration? Instances to avoid because they are not supported? Tools or app features that would be helpful? Things like that.
Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

Bad news for you: Lemmy was created and is maintained by “tankies”
But don’t be so choosy with your allies, or you’ll find yourself standing alone.
What are tankies?

Noted. Thanks.
I would avoid lemmy.world, just to spread the risk around.
A mid sized instance like lemmy.ca, lemmy.cafe, sopuli.xyz should work well
And of course, check to see that your prospective new instance isn’t de-federated from communities that are important to you, or something else strange, like lemmy.zip allegedly geoblocks UK IP addresses.
Some large instances are defederated from lemmynsfw.com, so if those /c’s are important to you…
lemmy.ml is defedded from ani.social, so if any of those /c’s are important to you…
Several instances are defedded from hexbear.net, beehaw.org. Again, if you like any /c’s on those instances…
And of course, if an instance hosts a lot of groups that are important to you, it might be a good idea to sign up there.
If you’re a voyager user avoid piefed as it’s not yet supported, although apparently on the roadmap.
If you’re in the UK you can’t use lemmy.zip due to the bs OSA.
Aside from that just check the the instance you’re moving to federates with the communities you subscribe to.
