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.

bit iffy on the .world situation

?

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.
