I would like to create a user on Lemmy.ml, but it says that registration is closed. Is that a permanent situation or will it reopen eventually?

    At the same time, federation allows citizen administrators to create and maintain new instances. Let us say there are 1000 instances with 1000 users each. It is relatively easy to host a server for 1000 people that federates with max 999 instances. And yet, one post can reach 1 million people.

    The same would be much harder for a private person and 1 instance that has to serve 1 million people.
