I'm definitely seeing the benefits of belonging to a smaller Lemmy instance today. (programming.dev)

I've gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

... and I can't access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

Maybe I was misunderstood: I mean right now programming.dev seems to have scale issues as well. I'm totally for decentralization, but I think decentralization should happen on a per-topic/community level, so that we don't have gazillion /c/programming communities spread across multiple instances (at least until there is a good solution for somehow grouping communities across instances). And I think one instance should handle at least a few thousand maybe > 100k at least somehow active users (lemmy isn't a p2p network after all...), which I think should be possible right now with a beefy server.
