@JohnEdwa What happens is that people move to other instances and maybe start one with their friends, happens all the time.
Account migration will come to lemmy/kbin, and group-migration is really as easy as saying "Hey everyone, here's the new address"
@MasterBlaster @dusk
I do think some of the larger ones may end up being their own instance in the federation, both to help reduce burden, and to help ensure stability of their content. It will be interesting to see which ones are able to be self-funding through donations (or even ad monetization/corporate sponsorship in some edge cases.)
@Veritropism Very likely. One would hope that the Microsoft Support Forum is hosted on Microsoft's servers, say, for sure.
If I end up using it a lot I'll host my own eventually, but doubt I'd have to pay to host popular groups on it.
