a single instance can get knocked out without talking out the whole fediverse
Honestly, it may as well have in this case. LemmyWorld is the de facto “hub” for basically the entire Threadiverse right now. All the major communities are seeing the most activity through LemmyWorld. While I’m subscribed to a lot of communities from other instances, sometimes duplicates of ones found on LemmyWorld, losing LemmyWorld would still a huge chunk of the content that I’m trying to see.
I really do wish that more specialized instances would sprout up and that some of these communities could cluster together across multiple pockets of the Threadiverse. I feel like this makes it less likely to lose huge chunks of content, and also makes fewer large targets for somebody to want to attack in the first place.
