Why does this matter? You can see everything on lemmy.world even if you come from a small instance. Size is not necessarily a benefit here.
A small instance has a higher probability of the owner stopping maintaining it. Obviously this doesn’t apply if the instance is yours, but I’m not tech-savvy enough to do that.
You actually raise a good point: People may not join a smaller instance if you're not confident it's going to hang around.
I might see if I can publish a contingency/continuity plan in our next community update.
True, that's fair. But I'd still join a small server to give it a chance and to keep them afloat. Small servers would maybe stay around more if more people joined :)
