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.

        I think I meant more so like does it matter because we can still all see the same content regardless where we sign up right? From my basic understanding of this fediverse or whatever the hell it’s called lol

          You can generally see content from any other server unless they block your server
