      I feel like it is more load balancing issues. This is one of the more popular instances, so the admins probably don’t want to bear the costs of housing too many communities.

        A bunch of people rushing in to make and squat on communities. The Lemmy devs also wanted people to find instances that better match the community, so I imagine it will be permanent.
