It would be an interesting shot across the bow to corporate controlled social media to show opensource, open access social medias growth. I’m sure its in an exponential phase. It also would seem important to the community to know. Is there a way to query across the fediverse to look at user numbers?

    Hopefully. It largely depends on how fast instances are able to scale up their infrastructure. There’s three weeks before June 30th, so hopefully there’s time to prepare for as many people’s arrival as possible.

      you’re right about that. from what i gather about that state of affairs is that either current Lemmy instance admins will step up, or a new wave of higher-capacity Lemmy instances will appear and take over most traffic. Maybe a mix of both?

      exciting times we live in…
