Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

    Question, does it matter? Arent we all part of this universe so it doesnt matter right? Im still sorta confused how all this stuff works.

      Distributing evenly prevents a few things:

      • Increasing server cost on a single instance host
      • Less reliance on a single instance means, the single instance is less likely to fuck over their members (via advertising or data sharing)
      • Less likely of a situation where one instance can create a sort of monopoly of Lemmy communities and take them private via defederation, leading everyone to join that singular Lemmy instance to see the content.
