Let's spread out lemmys userbase so that a single instance can't take out large chunks of the network (lemmy.zip)

Honestly, this kind of thing should be done automatically by whatever app they sign up with. It's not something that the average person will really know how to choose.

Because it's not only number of users, it's also number of connections to other servers, how many federate with it. Most people don't wanna use a social network where they have to type exactly what they want in to search it every time. Never mind the different policies about posting and de-federation that can completely change how the network works for each user.

It's the disadvantage of decentralizion, and we've gotta band-aid it somehow.

Oh, yeah, it's engaging stuffs. I've gone through:

Oh, no, this instance defederates for safety but it stops working for days
Oh, look, that instance is close to me and I can go faster
Oh, crap, this instance doesn't allow downvote
Oh, shoot, this instance doesn't work real well with this community
Oh, look, that instance is using cloudflare
Oh, no, this instance has trouble with this browser's extension

The good thing about all these is, one instance going down is not a problem anymore!
