Just wanted to ask your opinion before I waste too much time in a new open source project that nobody wants.

Lemmy, Mastodon and Co are federated but users are concentrated on a few large instances which somewhat contradicts the original idea.

What do you think of a truly decentralised app where each instance is one user.

I am aware that there many reasons why this is a bad idea but I would like to hear from you why I should leave it, or encourage me to try it out.

    For Lemmy and PieFed much of the server load comes from communities, not users. It’s communities that do the activity fan out, not users.
