I think one of the major issues is how poorly we’re doing at directing people to individual instances.
Lemmy works fine if we have a bunch of good / stable instances created for a variety of different topics and users spread out. All the kinks and things do need to be worked out, but at the same time there needs to be a better way of load-balancing people to different instances. Either that or the entire backend needs to be re-written to allow better load-balancing. I can’t imagine lemmy.world can survive another major influx of users.
We’re just a small small portion of the reddit userbase. Lemmy will explode if there’s ever a mass migration.
