Why does lemmy.world, the largest instance, not simply eat the other instances?

[–] Thurkeau@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Then it would just be Reddit all over again.

Centralization is bad

So we end up with one instance having to serve millions of users... for free... Hmm yes that's going to work.

People on Lemmy are not going to like it but either Lemmy takes off and people will have to find ways to fund their instances or Lemmy dies.

We're in a nice period right now where kind people are able to run instances on donations or from their own pocket. But it's not going to last.
