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