I don't think I would like Lemmy as much if it got big (discuss.online)

Currently Lemmy has a decent selection of communities and nearly any post gets a good traction, you easily find yourself in convos and can recognise others if you frequent enough

I don't think this would be the case for long if Lemmy got big, maybe 10% of Reddit is enough

But maybe because of how Lemmy is maintained, instances like beehaw might defederate, again allowing for smaller communities

I don't know, I really like where Lemmy is tbh, bit iffy on the .world situation, donated a bit, Lemmy is nice. Yeah. Lemmy is nice. I like Lemmy.

50% of Lemmy is hosted on lemmy.world

Personally, I think that's because it's one of the only instances that advertises itself as general purpose and isn't going for a theme like LGBTQ+ or programming or gaming or whatever. If you're a noob looking for a Reddit replacement, lemmy.world and lemm.ee seem like the main two options. And I'm sorry to say but lemm.ee's image hosting limitations are a big thing that counts against it on a platform where 50% of what people do is upload memes. So it seems like lemmy.world is the only real option.

For a noob, that is. I know now that if I sign up on a programming™ instance, I can still view general content just like on Reddit. But as a noob it looks like your options are a bunch of themed and limited instances, plus world and ee.

that make sense why politics is on there, its probably the largest community here as it is on reddit, and the same type of people that would ban users for misinterpreting their comments.
