I went and found Yiffit originally because the more knowledgeable Lemmy gurus pointed out that everyone using 1 instance would bog things down. Makes sense, you know? Harder to serve everyone, especially if this whole thing is just up because of hobbyists and volunteers and not big mega corps with limitless funding, through 1 channel. Where big sites like Reddit split across multiple servers behind the scenes, Lemmy just allows you to manually control what servers you’re using via the instance you’re on. I’m big on choice, so this is hella rad IMO.
