it has nothing to do with how the coummnities are ran or what technology/apps we have, the issue is that decentralised networks almost always have worse infrastructures compare to centralised ones. lemmy.world is already lagging quite a bit, and eventually the admins will be overwhelmed by the shear number of users.
Unless federation figures out a way to distribute load or monetize for server cost, I dont think it will become mainstream
Literally all you have to do is join another instance brother, that’s how you distribute load. As for monetization, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
Here I’m referring to automatic load distribution. Expecting users to actively choose a good server requires quite a bit of technical knowledge (how servers work) and effort (search and compare), thats probably not something the general public is willing to do
unfortunately, probably not

I think the average and below average users aren’t going to figure that out lol
