Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork.
Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit?
We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?

Monthly active users are actually pretty stable over the last 2 years, while posts and comments are steadily rising. While monthly active user growth would be better, I don’t think we’re in a bad spot right now.
Granted, all of Lemmy should strive to figure out how to get more people on the platform so more niche interests can hit critical mass. My point is that things are currently stable so the sky isn’t falling
