Their Literature sublemmy was enjoyable. The alternatives are just too small to have discussions at the moment. Let's see if a proper replacement arises.
...and I joined this instance because it federated with more or less everyone. It didn't last long.
Yes it seems like this move basically reverses all the progress that has been made this week, suddenly kicking everyone out of the most popular communities just as they were starting to participate is not going to go over well. Nobody is going to switch to lemmy if popular instances get overwhelmed so easily
All sorts of things happen when large numbers of new people suddenly appear. Prepare for the second rexxit wave. Some time after it, federation patterns will likely stabilise.
Agreed I don't think this will kill lemmy or even beehaw but it was definitely an avoidable speedbump
