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

I crosscomment here:

It could be weird but here[1] it seems that people who doesn’t understand federation at first use to associate the software name with the instance name.

You speak about “moving to Pixelfed” and they look and use Pixelfed.social at first.

I think that could also have happenned with Lemmy.

Well...my journey in the fediverse was different...

Began in an instance of Pleroma from one day to another (although for me Pleroma is the most decentralized platform of fediverse). And even used a lot an instance of pixelfed that enter to maintainable state, and then closed...and now I'm on the main. Even the owners of the pleroma instance I was on, told me, "learn to go to the biggest instances that probably would last much longer"

Which instances did you use?

There are several which were pretty stable and are still ongoing.

These were even small instances and not main ones.

Don t remember the pixelfed I used. Think it was pixfed or something like that. Pleroma was hatthieves
