I think once people start to figure out just HOW the Fediverse works, they’ll start spreading out. I joined beehaw originally, then they defedereated from lemmy.world, which is where most of the communities were that I had subscribed to. That’s why I joined lemmy.world…
so far i think that process is going to be a bit of a barrier for the average user… so many logins. i understand that decentralization carries this burden, but i’m not sure it’s worth it for me personally, and i think i may be slightly more inclined that the average user to jump through those hoops. we shall see.
