A number of us picked lemm.ee because we heard it was more stable. And it's true. None of that constant gateway errors.

Thing is? More who join lemm.ee the more resource we use and the more unstable it could become.
- Doesn't that mean that we need more worlds or stuff to be created/hosted for it to be sustainable for growth?
  
  In theory, that'd offload population and increase stability.
  
  But there's always going to be big instances that are just naturally more populated.
  
  Account creation is tedious so people may not be willing to make a new account. If there was an easy way to swap instances without account creation, that might reduce issues.
- I can already see myself having multiple instance accounts for small and big ones.
  
  I already have 4 accounts across instances and 1 on kbin
It will be interesting to see how well lemme.ee grows and whether things can stay stable throughout lemmy as a whole. Hopefully funding doesn't become a major block in the future.
- There seem to be massive content propagation issues at the moment. Compare comments and upvotes:

  The issue is tracked on Github but I'm not even sure the scale of the problem is being acknowledged by Lemmy devs.
  
  https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3101
  
  At least it's on sunaurus radar since he's active in that issue.
  
  I don't think there's enough attention on these consistency concerns. I'd like to see a lot more discussion and acknowledgement that the federation property itself is experiencing issues and not all content is distributing consistently.
How many users can we scale to?
to the moooooooooooon
