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! 💉

Probably a combination of things:
Yes, there were multiple problems in a row that got some people making accounts on other instances, and some people probably stuck with those.
There were some people who were angry that .world wasn’t automatically defederating from Threads and said they were moving to other instances (or already had).
There were posts about the high .world growth not being a good thing, and more people should sign up on smaller instances. Undoubtedly not everyone who has recently started on Lemmy will like it and stick with it, so if other instances have more of the growth and .world has at least as much attrition, it will look flat or declining relative to others.
Probably other factors too.
