I think people naturally tend toward the servers of the people that started the project and also the servers that have the most people on them. As the federated technology continues to smooth out I think more people might be more comfortable spreading out to other servers.
Personally I started out on the Beehaw server but they had some rules I didn’t like so then I found another server.
I couldn’t deal with the no downvote button in beehaw server. Lemmy.ml seemed to be fit my preference best when I joined at the time. There’s also the fact that there’s no way to migrate your history right now so I’m staying where I am atm I guess. It also feels like the main instance is the less likely to go down in the future
