  Sorry, I misspoke. The largest instances of lemmy are have been defederated, specifically world and ml.

  The only argument I’m making is that almost all defederation is negatively impactful to fediverse growth.

    I disagree if the defederated instances are maladaptive and export bad behaviour.

    In addition, I don’t think lemmy.world or lemmy.ml have been defederated by anyone notable. The only example of lemmy.world being defederated, that I know, is beehaw.org. And I believe that Beehaw.org isn’t interested in growth.

    The fediverse is not a single amorphous bloc with the same overall goals of growth.

      I mean, sure. I guess still people are on Fark. and Digg. And even still posting to Craigslist forums.

      And growth is a matter of survival. You don’t grow, you don’t survive.

        There’s also slow growth vs. extreme growth. I do want Lemmy/Piefed to grow but I don’t think its ideal or realistic to expect or project it ever getting to Reddit size.
