People want to be where people are. My guess is we’ll end up with a bunch of super instances eventually.

    People want to be where people are.

    This logic only applies in centralized platforms. In the case of the Fediverse, people are everywhere and anywhere.

    But here on lemmy itself we can see people gathering in just a few instances

    Not everything happens for a logical reason. It's human nature to get together in tribes, and the majority of people are okay with just following the pack.

    I just hope that eventually more people figure out that there is no significant advantage in being in the largest instances, and that it can be actually harmful (too many resources, potential drama because too much power is given to the admins, etc)
