There are many lemmy instances in the world, but currently most people are using lemmy.world. This is why everything has gotten so slow.

I would add that the risk of joining a small server is that the owner can suddenly delete them at any time and you would have to start all over again elsewhere. Best thing to do is to make an account on the large instances only.

Lemmy.world has only existed for a month. Why the confidence that it’s here to stay?

It's run through the Open Collective, and is also run by Ruud who runs one of the larger Mastodon instances as well as some other stuff on the Fediverse I believe. They're a fairly trusted actor in the space and I think pretty transparent with everything they do which is probably another reason many people flocked there.

Open Collective is a funding platform unaffiliated with l.w
