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

As you can see, I choose Feddit and not Lemmy.ml as my instance. One of the main reasons was exactly to avoid joining the flagship instance. I speak German so Feddit seemed fitting.

However the communiy on Feddit is really small and most posts don't get any answers. Therefore it's probably better to stick with lemmy.ml until the Lemmy galaxy in the Fediverse gets big enough to justfy more planets (instances).

we have all the lemmy.ml posts here though.

Yes, which is also the reason I don't feel to switch the instance yet. But i mean... 63 users / 6 months is a bit underwheliming imho.

Yeah, I get it :D

As an ex-lemmy.ml resident I love the way more posts and communities are an ALL click away, but yeah it does require locals to post locally where possible to get any kind of traction. Lemmy.ml users can still subscribe to the communities.
