    that somewhat defeats the purpose of decentralizing social media.

    I think youre not wrong in that we might need some larger instances to help users transition, but pushing a single instance is antithetical to our goals.

    we also need to do a better job of spreading the content load.

        lemmy.world is currently holding the brunt of the active ‘communities’.

        those communities need to be spread across more instances so if lemmy.world suddenly goes dark (ala kbin.social), the threadiverse doesnt suddenly lose a majority of its content feeds.

          I used to love r/askhistorians and that was a niche community. I think if lemmy gets big enough we can have the same type of niche communities and probably reddit will sue us but I am more than happy to donate to the legal fund.
