Probably a very polarizing question.

On the one hand, having most of the users and communities on LW causes technical issues (see this post), and also gives the LW staff too much power over Lemmy as a whole.

On the other hand, with 18k MAU on LW out of 47k (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/), every community listed there has a much higher chance of visibility compared to an alternative hosted on another instance

    It’s already been in beta testing for a little while so probably releasing soon! Of course that’s a bit of a risky change lol so I’ll be waiting and see if any bugs are discovered in the weeks after release.
