I'd say it's a problem that will solve itself. Beehaw's gaming communities seem to be doing better than Lemmy's, and I'd highly encourage giving them a look. Part of the greatness of the federation system is that we don't have to host EVERYTHING locally (and it's probably not desirable to).
After all, if Lemmy does some stuff really well, and Beehaw does some stuff really well, both of us can thrive together without both sides having to eat hosting costs for double hosting all the content.
beehaw blocks many other instances though. I don't feel like supporting them to grow. Too centralized.
Beehaw seems to be coming in strong. I almost made an account on their server but for some reason they don't allow downvotes which I feel could be an issue in the future.
It might be, but a number of Reddit communities did that via CSS as well and forums before that didn't even have voting systems at all.
Time will tell. Part of the excitement of all this is going to be watching how everything develops
