    This is the primary reason why I’m ok for my instance to not grow massively. We got 10K people and we have pretty good traffic ,without overloading us or making too much of a target. We still get new users since we allow registrations, but the application requirements retain the quality

      I’m realizing that I signed up for a probably-at-risk instance (lemmy.ml). I’m quite left but not necessarily an anarchist so it would seem applying to lemmy.dbzer0.com wouldn’t be a good move. (But I did enjoy reading your application requirements!) Recs on other small but reliable instances?

      Absolutely makes sense. If lemmy is going to have any truly large communities though, investment in infrastructure/ops as well as function/moderation will be absolutely needed. (It’s an ‘if’, of course)

      Time will tell how the community will want to lead it.
