I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Couldn't say, but I think when Lemmy rolls out account migration features (like Mastodon/Firefish/Misskey etc) we'll probably see a fairly large amount of people move elsewhere.

Lemmy's at an odd stage of development right now, kinda federates, kinda doesn't. As it matures, so will its userbase and I think any potential centralisation issues will take care of themselves. At the moment, users have to physically move (as I have twice already to help decentralisation only to see the place I moved to become very popular lol).

I'm sceptical they will move away if things work fine on Lemmy.world. This is similar to having default settings in software. Most users never change them.

Maybe, yeah. I could be just being unrealistically optimistic but I do think Lemmy has a higher degree of the sort of people who don't see changing the default settings as a major issue (as oppose to reddit for example).
