Since there will probably be a big increase in users, some kind of “allocation” mechanism would be great. Lemmy.ml already told people to use other instances because they are not able to handle the load. However, I guess the main problem will be that people new to the Fediverse will just try to join the biggest site.

I was also thinking about running my own instance to help but I am not sure how the whole legal aspect of it works. Like, if I’m responsible for all the content posted on my server. At some point it would just become impossible to moderate.
