My first account on the fediverse was on Beehaw and I was happy with it, but defederating from two of the largest instances gave me a reason to find a new instance. Personally I understand and respect the decision -that is the point of the fediverse afterall.

They had a lot of good communities that will not be cut off from the fastest growing instances which will make things tough to rebuild I think.

Yep, and one scenario is for sure that growth will slow down. But on the other hand, if growth continues at the current place, then in 2-3 months, lemm.ee will be just as big as lemmy.world is today.

And there is also the potential scenario that growth will actually speed up - who knows what will happen when 3rd party Reddit apps start shutting down, for example.
