Almost definitely, it’s hard to imagine there’s a community on lemmy.world that not one of the 20k users have susbcribed to

Pretty much any of the top 5 instances already subscribe to each others communities. Definitely not missing out on lemm.ee either!
One can easily get around that by simply subscribing to more communities!
It’s actually really bad. With how big it is, it’s now the default for even new mobile applications, which means it will now only grow bigger. 5x is just the start. We are just seeing the start of the centralised decentralised Lemmyverse.
Is it really federated social media now though? With how much .world has grown, they could disable federation and be their own walled garden.
instance | active users monthly |
---|---|
lemmy.world | 34436 |
lemmy.ml | 6716 |
lemm.ee | 4265 |
Like, they have nearly 5x more active users than .ml at this point, how ridiculous is that?
I agree, but it’s too late now. Even Sync defaults to the .world instance, and at this rate, they’ll only grow bigger.
You want to defederate from the largest Lemmy instance, the poster child, and the mascot of Lemmy? Good luck. They are Lemmy now.
probably it’s just not worth it attacking smaller instances? lemmy.world is such a juicy target given how big it is.
No, again, my suggestion is not to centralise anything.
If anything, I would have preferred if ps5!ps5@lemmy.world had moved to lemm.ee instead of lemmy.world. As it stands, lemmy.world is getting too big for a “federated” Lemmyverse, why should we continue to support federation on Lemmy, if lemmy.world becomes the new Reddit?
No, as opposed to moving a specialised instance, like how Android moves to lemdro.id. All of the centralisation lemmy.world and lemmy.ml is beginning to have an effect, and you guys are just at the starting line of finding out.
Decentralisation has nothing to do with blockchains. Hell, even BitTorrent was decentralised before the term blockchain even came to be.
the instance I’m on seems to be performant enough :)
truly tragic, communities should have never centralised on the top instances.
hopefully not, they do have a good portion of communities.

he’s an astroturfer though, is he really low enough to stoop to ddos? thankfully the fediverse is diverse and resilient to attacks to any one instance lol
One good way would be HTTP response times from the API, since that is not something that would be cached by Cloudflare at the edge.
That’s a terrible justification. lemmy.world is using Hetzner, and not a CDN whereas lemmy.ca is using Cloudflare, which is a CDN. Pinging is a terrible benchmark for comparing server performance.
That is still the 7th largest instance. I’m glad it still works out for you, but I’m still not a fan of how the entire fediverse can be summarised in the top few instances.
That’s not how federation works. You can still interact with lemmy.world and its users from another instance, but spreading out not only helps with lemmy.world’s load, but also the fediverse.
