I know beehaw defederated from lemmyworld and they have some pretty big communities on there. That’s just an example that I know of because my first account was beehaw. I’m sure there are others.
I can still see beehaw content because they didn’t defed with lemmy.ca, but I’ve avoided posting to their communities. They feel like gated communities, which wasn’t productive to community building.
On the flip side, major communities being hosted on defederated instances is a concern.
Which ones are those? Maybe I can’t even see them
