Guys, stop recommending the massive servers when lemmy hasn’t been optimized for that yet. The entire point of decentralization is spreading out and still being connected; let’s not waste that advantage.
Use and recommend smaller instances instead like lemm.ee, lemmy.one, and vlemmy.net; they’ve been around for years and have been upgraded for the surge of users too
And spread out the popular communities. Right now everyone is trying to create every community in every instance. What should have happened is each instance should have a specialty. Have a news instance, gaming instance, asklemmy instance, etc.
Integrating lemmyverse.net’s functionality into lemmy itself like in this github issue would fix that by letting users see the actual sub count/activity of each community and incentivise them to join the most popular one.
This needs to be done asap imo; lemmy’s discoverability is really bad right now and not user friendly at all

Or country specific instances, if exists.
