    But… is that even a good thing? I mean, the point of the fediverse is to distribute the load across instances.

      The point is that everyone CAN start an instance and become bigger. It’s the users that decide.

        I like this way of putting it. It’s like that post that was around a few days ago discussing lemmy as being “CEO-proof”.

        It’s not really I guess, but if an instance got big and started being unfriendly/unreasonable to users they could just go to another instance and still be part of the federation.

      If it gets too much they can just stop letting people join, can’t they? I think for the beginning a little bit of centralizing will make stuff easier. For the long run it might be less desirable.

      The upside is join-lemmy.org always puts the smaller but growing instances at the top to somewhat distribute the load for new users. Also there are new general purpose instances popping up, I quite like it and as long as there is no drama you can access most of the Fediverse from almost any instance.
