Let's hope so! I wish for a slow but steady growth.

I fear that we wont be so lucky. If a million people try to check out Lemmy at once, all the instances can go down.

Part of the problem is that when a new user starts exploring Lemmy, they see the list of "most popular instances" and are inclined to gravitate towards them, when it's really not necessary to join them to interact with them... As a recent Reddit refugee, that was what I struggled with the most.
