It's different because feature-wise all Mastodon instances are quite similar (some might have bigger character limit etc.)
Generally it's best to choose a niche instance so you inherit a community of people with common interests instantly which makes onboarding much easier. For example, I'm on fosstodon.org for free software and photog.social for photography.
- Kye 4y agophotog.social is an example of where it being independent is both good and bad. Good, because independent. Bad, because it's just someone else's expensive computer. https://photog.social/@ambassador/109080532230127913 https://photog.social/@ambassador/109080532230127913 When you settle on an instance, make sure to contribute to its upkeep if you can.
