    When the main servers get hit hard (such as lemmy.ml), will users and/or communities using other servers be less impacted by the wave? Or will the wave hitting the popular servers be a problem for everyone?

    Will federation save us to some extent?

      I think if people can get past how it’s a bit complicated they can pretty easily just pick a random smaller server to sign up to. I’ve been on Reddit recommending sh.itjust.works because it doesn’t ask for an essay or some shit, just a username and password, as god intended

        One of the servers asked me what I would contribute to the community. Good way to confuse people who don’t understand lemmy.
