    Well spreading the userbase is the ideal situation… when 1 becomes too big it gets an extreme server load and too much control over content created there… The whole idea of lemmy is to spread out… I can imagine if instance owners get this idea they would temporarily suspend account registration on their own trying to push alternative instances to maintain a good decentralized user base.

        AFAIK CDN’s don’t do much to help with logged in traffic. Only users who are not logged in. Kbin.social is on Fastly infrastructure, so it’s likely to scale comparatively well.

        It’s probably not desirable for it to get too big, but it should be able to absorb waves of Redditors who will then move on to other instances hopefully.
