Had to split post (because it’s loo long?), see comments.

Hello! I am still figuring out this federation stuff after having created the community !ultralight@lemmy.world. I’ve heard discussion about how fast lemmy.world is growing and outpacing the other instances, and some discussion how it’s important to spread users out. I wondered if I should recommend instances other than lemmy.world or perhaps even move myself. With that in mind I wanted to see what my new community looked like from other instances. I decided to sample some of the larger instances from https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ - as of 10am July 3, 2023 EDT here’s what I see:
(See table above)
Out of the 13 instances !ultralight@lemmy.world is only really usable from 4 of them, and only up-to-date on one of them, lemmy.world. If this is representative of the state of things generally I’m a bit concerned for the implications that it will funnel everyone onto a single instance and turn lemmy.world into a monolith.
I’ve also observed this issue with stuff on lemmy.ml not making it over, I assume because the servers are just too slammed. It’s not exclusive to lemmy.world. (Although it does seem to be the worst with lemmy.world.)
