   So the numbers we were looking at we misinterpreted apparently ?

   Not that it matters, but looking at where mastodon.world ranks in number of users is we're 23rd out of 4069 instances.
   https://instances.social/list/advanced#lang=&allowed=&prohibited=&min-users=&max-users=

   We're not striving to be the biggest, we're striving to have a stable server for our users. It would be best for the idea of Federation that users are spread over as many servers as possible ?

     @n3wjack Normal users don't know what federation is or how Mastodon works. And they shouldn't need to. Maybe server-selection could be automated for those who don't know or care which server to pick.

     @ruud yeah, that's a funny thing. I bet people often choose a servers with more users, snowballing it into having to scale up a lot
