I am honestly still relatively new to the fediverse in general, and very new to Lemmy. I knew about its existence, but had never signed up for any servers. The recent Reddit API pricing news led me to sign up here....
There are a few other big instances which are not listed because they don't federate. However none of them can be considered general purpose. I hope this migration wave will lead to new instances being created.
However lemmy.ml also used to be more general purpose, until it focused more on specific topics that the users care about. So maybe it's just the way Lemmy works that general purpose instances get more topic specific over time.
Is the instance list here really the best there is? (join-lemmy.org)
