The things is that most people who join Lemmy don't understand the premise at first so they join the ones with the most people, at least that is what happened to me, it is only after I used Lemmy for awhile that I understood how everything worked
I initially thought that you can see other instances posts but you can't comment or post there unless you had multiple accounts to every single one, but no you can cross post and comment, which even if it was like that it would still be better than using reddit.
My logic behind joining lemmy.world was that defederation may be an issue, current or future, therefore it made sense to join the one that for one has the most people, and for two is the least likely to be defederated or randomly defederate others.
Granted, I believe beehaw did in fact defederate .world, and I think it was not long after, so maybe I did choose poorly.
I was tempted to join feddit.uk, but I wasn't sure if that would put the unnecessary identifier of "This guy's probably British!" on me everywhere I go.
Considering, beehaw defederated from two large instances. It would infact appear to be the exact opposite.
