Only thing that bothers me is that most of the biggest communities are @ lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, so it still feels kind of centralized.
Obviously it's not, but I wonder if too much "power" in one instance will have some negative consequences in future. For example one of them going black results in losing half of lemmy content and orphaned users probably won't spread to smaller instances but will join next biggest.
Isnt text content stored by servers that are federated with those big instances so if they go down the content is still accessible?
It's still accessible but new comments/votes won't go through properly anymore
