Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction.
Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all. But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer. Give me that hopium guys! 💉
I imagine any time a given server’s quality drops, people will just move to another one. I had login issues for a few days on lemmy.world and started using lemmy.ml.
I think its a good thing, healthy for the ecosystem that there’s not only redundancy where one site having a moment doesn’t kill everyone’s ability to use lemmy, and also provides a clear incentive for individual servers to provide good service.
It’s not a feature of Lemmy itself yet, though I’ve seen one person attempting a PR and there are issues for it. It will arrive at some point but could be awhile.
I made a tool to do it (subscriptions, blocks, and profile settings) in the meantime: github.com/CMahaff/lasim
