Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?
Blaze@sopuli.xyz 20 hours agoAside from the currently low number of users, the fact that you can have the same community in different instances means a community will never grow large enough.
Isn’t !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com an example of a community which grew large enough to become the reference?

Not sure. I can’t remember right now why I blocked dbzer0 completely, but my filters are blocking this instance. Which I guess is another side of the same coin: defederation (and allowing entire instances to be blocked) also contributes to fragmentation of communities. I had no idea the largest piracy community is on dbzer0, so I would subscribe to another piracy community on another instance, and thus split the memberships even more.
