Dessalines and I are busy with other things, so we wont be able to work on this anytime soon. But contributions are always welcome :)
There are a few other big instances which are not listed because they don't federate. However none of them can be considered general purpose. I hope this migration wave will lead to new instances being created.
However lemmy.ml also used to be more general purpose, until it focused more on specific topics that the users care about. So maybe it's just the way Lemmy works that general purpose instances get more topic specific over time.
Its too much in English and too many people from United States.
That sounds like relays, there are already many different ones for Mastodon at least.

Because we don't have millions of usd in venture capital funding. Just donations and volunteer work.
Luckily police in my country doesnt have time to go around stealing bikes.
most adults know that second hand bikes are routinely stolen and resold for cash, and buying one without clear provenance is a risky endeavor,
If police come after you because you bought a used bike, you already live in a police state. Most of the world isn't like that.
I was thinking of a frontend to turn Lemmy into a blogging software. I think the backend has all the required functionality. An image gallery could also be good, like scrolller.com.
Communities are completely independent from one another, even if they happen to share the same name. So if you are banned from community A, you can still post in community B. Another matter are instance bans, if you are banned from an instance then none of your posts will be visible there, or in any of its communities.
Also its called football.
Lemmy requires a moderator for communities, which is the user who initially created the group. If it were created automatically that would leave the group unmoderated. It wouldnt even be possible to edit the description or upload an avatar, let alone ban trolls. So this seems like a bad idea.
Definitely. lemmy.ml previously had like one new user per day, now its a few dozen per day.
