I joined Lemmy a few days ago under the lemmy.world instance and want to keep it as my main instance, but it’s being pretty laggy.
I don’t have access to a computer to ping each instance so am wondering if there’s a mobile way to do so.

There is unfortunately not a good tool to help with what you’re looking for.
The best way is to browse to a few servers and see if they feel snappy. You can click through without an account.
https://wirebase.org is ours, which is hosted in the US
My understanding (from limited knowledge) is that also due to how federation works even if you’re instance isn’t under too much load, you may notice issues with posts/comments from other instances if they’re struggling.
That makes sense. If another server is overloaded, then updates will come in slowly from/to it
