Mastodon is scaling fine though? I've been using it for years, and it's great, and still growing. User base is a bit tech focused, could be more general, but I think it'll get there eventually.

Are instances federated or rag-tag islands?

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

islands can be good (for unpopular/generally hated content)

I'm sorry that whoever down voted you didn't see what you were doing.

Well I'd say most of them are federated together, or at least those with a good amount of users. In practice you don't really get islands other than I guess troll instances that everyone has blocked.

And AFAIK as long as an instance isn't blocked by yours (and vice versa to be useful), you can follow a person on that unfederated instance and it should just work and get federated.
