I think what you're seeing is stagnation or downtrends in certain communities, but still growth. As more people come to Lemmy they are finding the instance that works the best for them. lemmy.world has the biggest user base. They will continue to grow while others shrink as people want to be where the action is. This may fluctuate or change in the future.
Do you mean users that don't understand federation will think they need to be on lemmy.world? My account is not on lemmy.world and I don't miss out on anything from other instances
How did you get that?! I was simply saying that lemmy world is the biggest instance right now and people naturally click to where more people are. That's it. Pretty straight forward and simple.
Your comment implied that people would choose an instance based on popularity. I was pointing out that popularity does not correlate with content and community if you are on another fully federated instance.
We have also seen the weaknesses of being on a large instance recently, where lemmy.world issues affected a significant number of users
Bro, it was just my opinion. Calm down. It's not that deep. Go to reddit if you want to argue.
