Who else here is chilling on their own instance watching this shit unfold with some popcorn 😂

Exactly the reason why Lemmy at scale will never work, since most people won't run their own instance.

I don't think running your own instance is required, just that the user base needs to be distributed across more instances. The happy median lies somewhere between "uber" instances and self-hosted.

Yes, but the common user would just register on the most popular instance. It will take a lot of effort to change that mindset.
