My hope is that someone (Mozilla? Apollo devs?) stands up a Lemmy instance “for the average user” similar to what Mozilla did for Mastodon. It’ll take moves like that to get some degree of critical mass and help the average user switch to federated apps like Lemmy. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-social-mastodon-private-beta-announcement/
Yes, if mozilla makes an instance the game will be changed. The biggest problems I’m seeing people on reddit say is that making an account is awful and picking an instance is too hard. Please mozilla
It’s the one the devs run and so is often treated as such, but they discourage it in order to encourage decentralization and because they don’t want too much moderation overhead.

Mastodon has a flagship instance for normies before mozilla. Lemmy doesn’t
Is Lemmy.ml not the flagship instance? Or is it just one of the larger ones?

To expand on morrowind’s answer, here’s the long response about not being a flagship: https://lemmy.ml/post/70280
