I’m of the opinion that ideally, Lemmy.world can act as the assembly area for the new migrants. It gives them time to get a feel of the Threadiverse as a whole, without having to think about instances and federation and all that shit. Once they’ve gained more experience, or found an instance that better fits their needs, then they can go.
However, given the amount of people pouring into Lemmy.world, I think that it might be a good idea to “randomly assign” an instance to them. That is, a number of small instances that are willing to take the load off Lemmy.world can group together to form a pool of instances that are then randomly assigned to those coming over from Reddit through a portal like a more newb-friendly version of https://join-lemmy.org/.

Exponential growth is scary! I sure hope instance admins, as well as Lemmy devs (and contributors, and others such as those who actively look for problems in the code), are already working on such problems. In the meanwhile, yeah, the amount of goodwill is just overwhelming as well, which I hope translates to more donations instance admins and Lemmy devs (and contributors).
