I think 1 Million in the first month since the start of the blackout would be headline news, but I'm not sure if we'd have the server capacity for it yet.
Does anyone really have the capacity? I'm glad I got here before instances started restricting like Mastodon did.
It's very manageable if Lemmy UI is improved to make it easier to have more smaller nodes, rather than big instances.
So long as discovery of communities is easier across instances, it won't matter if you are in a mini instance of say 100, which is extremely light on demand.
You can self-host on a Raspberry Pi, it's just that people naturally gravitate to large instances were they trust their account won't disappear as easily.
If we could also choose to host community indexers that all instances can access, separately from our instance, it would become easier to join a small instance that doesn't have its own community.
Me too! Reddit refugee and liking it here
