I don't understand this meme.
The vast majority of lemmy users are on a couple massive instances: lemmy.world, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works etc.
There are tiny instances which would be happy to host more users and are faster than the big ones but no one joins them because most people just hear of lemmy.world or whatever is being shared on reddit and join that.
I've been considering setting up a new primary account on an instance other than .world, but there isn't really a way for instances to effectively publicize themselves, their culture, and their mod/admin tempo and I'm honestly stumped
I recommend PieFed rather than Lemmy tbh - it just has so many cool features that Lemmy lacks, like categories of communities and combining comments across all cross-posts, so cool!
But if sticking with Lemmy, for anyone in the USA I cannot recommend highly enough Discuss.Online - it has fantastic uptime and a very friendly admin group, both of which are somewhat rare so it's really kinda odd why that instance has so few users on it (although understandable when most people choose Lemmy.World or lemm.ee, or coming from the EU choose a different regional instance, which is also cool:-).
I'll check it out
