Or made any kind of commentary on it? Or are they depending on being deathly silent to reduce the chance of anyone finding out?

I do see redditors bringing it up from time to time, but those who know about it and stayed usually complain about not understanding instances or not getting enough engagement with niche communities.

Which is understandable, if you’ve never been one of the first people on a social media platform. They have no clue how utterly surface-level their issues are.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but, were they to get the level of engagement they wanted, wouldn’t most broadly federated small instances close due to increased hosting costs? I don’t think we’re physically able to support the number of people required to create broad niche community discussion.
