I haven't banned anyone, and as far as I know none of the other users on my instance currently have moderation privileges. So why am I seeing two users in a "banned" list when I visit my instance settings page?

Is Apple going to make a Mastodon server? I think that'd be pretty cool. In Apple fashion, it would require an app only available on iPhone and Mac, and this app wouldn't be able to connect to third party instances....
Personally I would block any corporate instances on principle. It's a community project and not a shopping mall. But I don't make decisions for lemmy.ml alone.
With forewarning about a huge influx of users, you know Lemmy.ml will go down. Even if people go to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and disperse among the great instances there, the servers will go down....
It's easy to discover communities on my instance via the dedicated page in the hamburger menu. But let's say I want to follow a community on another instance, such as !lemmy .

You only need to store the content from communities that you follow. So in a single user instance it will be very limited. And anyway its all text which doesnt take much space. Remote images/video are not mirrored.
Correct the performance problem now is all from local users (visiting lemmy.ml in their browser or app).
If lemmy.ml goes down, other instances still have full mirrors of them. Users there can interact with their local mirror as usual, and other users can see those interactions. However these would not be federated to other instances (lemmy.ml is responsible for announcing community posts to followers). However federated actions are retried a few times so it might federate later.
