Serious question: is Lemmy.world a problem if it gets big?
We want Lemmy to be successful. Users join and they're bound to concentrate in an instance that looks like it is the biggest (that's where I would sign up as a newbie). Other instance content still is consumable and interactable. Is this a problem?
Someone on Lemmy told me this and it really stuck with me even though I always believed it even if I couldn’t put it into words.
Having only one good solution means you’re only one good solution away from having no good solutions at all. That person wrote it more succinctly however, I’m worse at this :p
True ideally.....but I would think having people on Lemmy is the main priority. Having a diversified Lemmy is secondary. If Lemmy.world pulls some shit then getting people to change instance shouldn't be as difficult as getting people to change platform.
Lemmy competes against single solutions like Reddit. It's still better to have an overpopulated Lemmy.world rather than Reddit.
Hopefully the lemmy devs eventually add a way to migrate accounts. I feel like that would solve the biggest risk of having such a big instance.
Mastodon still doesn't allow accounts import, so I wouldn't hold my breath
