  It’s the most one by far (27k monthly users vs 4k for the second one): lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

    And even knowing that, it's still the one everyone advertises. Drives me insane. Is federation between that and the smaller lemmy instances still janky or something? Because if it's not, there's little to no reason.

      I usually recommend it to new joiners so that they don’t have to worry about federation right away and can just use the local communities.

      After that, I encourage them to move to smaller instances, but I guess they are just comfortable there

        If they join to use local, and it works well for them, why would they switch to a smaller instance?

        It most resembles what they know and does not require them to leave it.

        There's not much to worry about federation though. I'm not even on a Lemmy server and I see plenty of Lemmy.world.

  They should disable signups for a while to allow the user load to start distributing more evenly across other instances.
