Do you mean users that don't understand federation will think they need to be on lemmy.world? My account is not on lemmy.world and I don't miss out on anything from other instances

How did you get that?! I was simply saying that lemmy world is the biggest instance right now and people naturally click to where more people are. That's it. Pretty straight forward and simple.

Your comment implied that people would choose an instance based on popularity. I was pointing out that popularity does not correlate with content and community if you are on another fully federated instance.

We have also seen the weaknesses of being on a large instance recently, where lemmy.world issues affected a significant number of users

Bro, it was just my opinion. Calm down. It's not that deep. Go to reddit if you want to argue.
