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

How can I find big communities across instances? If I can't find communities on other instances, I will stick to the biggest instance.

There is the "Explore Communities" view that can be used for that. It can be used for listing communities across instances, here is an example.

Ah, yes, thank you.

You can search for topics you have an interest in and then subscribe to communities based on the results that appear. QuentinCallaghan also mentions how to find communities on other instances, by selecting "All" on the Community List page.

But that raises a good point: lemmy.ml has a great many more communities than other instances.
