I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    aside from moderation stuff, smaller instances tend to be faster and, ironically, more reliable in the shorter term, as they’re not constantly getting hugged to death

    and in the long term while they may be more vulnerable to running out of cash and shutting down, they’re less costly to maintain overall, so as long as people chip in that’s not as big of a concern
