I noticed this yesterday as well. Made a post from lemmy.ca to lemmy.world I saw on lemmy.ca my post had about 100 upvotes and a bunch of comments.
Hopped into kbin because everyone kept raving about it, so my post with like 160 upvotes and way more comments.
Kept hopping back and forth between instances trying to reply to comments that would only appear on Kbin.
So I created an account on Kbin with the same username so I could reply to comments that didn’t appear on lemmy.ca.
Kbin.social is definitely the most polished instance right now.
They should make an instance, it would help the general public discover the fediverse. Most people I talk to at the bar don’t know about the fediverse, I’ve explained it so many times, some people show interest, some people don’t see the point, or how it’s a big deal. I probably just come off as a total geek.
Once meta opens up a channel to the fediverse, people will start to stumble upon the different instances, decide they are done with meta, and move on from meta.
There are some billionaires out there who are watching whats happening, they are noticing the patterns, the trends, what people want, and what people dont want.
All it takes is one clever billionaire, who realizes they have enough money to create the next best platform and be able to fund it by other means.
We are at the point where bots can generate ad revenue, so if we just abandon the old websites to bots, they become bot-towns that generate revenue, and that revenue goes towards funding ad free servers in the fediverse.
This may be what just happens.
