Good time to appreciate the lack of dominant centrality here compared to mastodon.
Mastodon's flagship instance run by the BDFL,
mastodon.social, has~10times the monthly active users of the next biggest instance.Here, there isn't really a flagship instance, as the devs don't want their instance to be anything more than the one they happen to run, and it's not the biggest, and the biggest is independent of the lemmy dev team and isn't even that much bigger than the others.
It does appear that lemmy.world is heading in the same direction of mastodon.social though.
