with how much .ml is struggling to handle the load I would've expected even more to pick different instances, though the situation seems better than how mastodon.social was during the twitter migration

the upcoming centralization issue sounds like it'll be the communities themselves all being hosted on .ml, not accounts. can't want to see how that one is gonna play out

they need the communities to be able to sync their posts/mod-team with other communities. That way communities aren't dependent on one site.

Yeah this is my concern with lemmy overall. Like if a server shutsdown, as far as my understanding goes, the communities and accounts go with it. Like yeah decentralized is great for democracy purposes but the hard line separation makes it a hard ask on time investment. And I'm sure it's more likely to happen to larger instances than smaller since cost will be the hugest factor. I'm sure remaking your account isn't a big deal but we've seen with Reddit a sub/community can be irreplaceable at times.

The first time a handful of large subs are lost on Lemmy I'm sure it'll have great affect on how the community views Lemmy.

Yeah definitely. There needs to be migration options between instances if federation is going to work.
