I think it's likely people will flock to one server (I came to this one since it was fastest growing) but thanks to federation, popular communities on other servers could still be accessed -- it's awesome!

I think it's just going to become Reddit because nobody will shut the fuck up about it not being Reddit, if it does I'll just leave this too lmao. "We came here because there's no singular central archive NOW MAKE EVERYTHING FEED A CENTRAL ARCHIVE"

I mean, maybe. Can always just join or spin up another instance. It's like the Hydra -- you cut off one server, and two more might pop up in its place. I think this will allow it to reach a nice community equilibrium, where vertical growth might be balanced by horizontal growth.

Could be wishful thinking though.
