If you have been here for long enough and settled in and now finally feel comfortable with Lemmy, I highly advice you to move to smaller instances. I just newly left Lemmy.world to join Lemm.ee.

We need to capitalize on the decentralized nature of the Fediverse and Lemmy instead of having everyone joining one instance. This will benefit the admins of Lemmy.world a lot as they would not have to deal with such a high amount of users. It also leaves room for new users to join and have a good experience rather than an experience filled with server outages where they will give up on Lemmy.

We got almost 20,000 instances I don't think we need to push people to self hosting unless that's something they specifically enjoy.

No its 1376 instances and about 28000+ communities I believe.

Thanks for correcting me. I must have gotten confused between the Instances and communities.
