When the main servers get hit hard (such as lemmy.ml), will users and/or communities using other servers be less impacted by the wave? Or will the wave hitting the popular servers be a problem for everyone?

Will federation save us to some extent?

I think if people can get past how it’s a bit complicated they can pretty easily just pick a random smaller server to sign up to. I’ve been on Reddit recommending sh.itjust.works because it doesn’t ask for an essay or some shit, just a username and password, as god intended

I'm opening up my server to about 100 users. My server seemed a bit overkill for one account so I figured may as well help a little. We'll see what usage looks like and maybe I can add more people without it starting to get expensive.

I just use the email metaphor and it usually gives people a rough idea how it works. It seems more complicated than it is.

What are some good communities there that you'd recommend?

It was my third account and so far it's held up to its name.

Theoretically yes. I remember when mastodon.social went down and I didn't notice a thing... Well aside from the constant "guys guys guys mastodon.social is down so exciting" :)
