I am one of those influx.

I'm realllllly just hoping we don't choke the "main" instances completely to death before the lemmy backend can have some developer hours dumped into it to support better per-instance horizontal scaling.

Yeah. It's gonna be a rough first couple months. App development needs to catch up. Server support needs to catch up. Many subs need to figure out how to move over their communities. I'm tempted to start making communities and just copy-pasting the side bars and pinned threads, but Im not a mod for anything, so it feels like it'd be plagiarism.

It desperately needs lower friction remote community subscribing and a user migration workflow between instances.

Yeah, currently I too frequently end up viewing communities from outside the context of my login, it's a pain that I hope gets remediated soon
