Pretty much everyone I see is on lemmy.ml. Why aren't people moving to other instances? I see thisproblems on Matrix too.

When I first joined mastodon, I was on mastodon.social - I wasn't used to twitter enough for mastodon to feel familiar, having to research and pick an instance seemed like an extra stress, and I appreciated having a "default" option.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lemmy.ml stays relatively big for a while, but I do see a lot of new instances starting and I'm optimistic the network will become more diverse.
