The idea that you’re missing out? Its probably a good issue to have when things are reasonably small. Regarding the issue of a music community on lemmy ml - should this be on lemmy.ml at all? The admins have disowned ‘flagship’ and have clearly stated the site to be leftist/foss and have also restricted logins. Music should be maintained elsewhere on a gen pop instance like cough sopuli.
When it comes to choosing an instance I think sopuli loses a bit in translation, but when I found out sopuli means *lemming * in english it made sense. Also visiting the site it looks like there are a lot of finnish posts = finnish only server when in reality these are posted to the /suomi finnish community. Long short thats why I set up https://sopuli.xyz/c/classicalbums there and will be posting to /c/music.
Lastly one of the strengths of landing on another instance if you are not interested in leftist/foss content it doesnt appear in your local timeline, but thanks to lemmys format you can easily subscribe/find/enage if you wish - better than landing on the wrong mastodon instance.
Yeah, without a doubt. Domain names are a key aspect of any instance, and their “quality” greatly influences the retention rate. At least that’s what I’ve always felt on the Fediverse. Instances with great domain names are more likely to get used than the others.

I think domain names matter to a point. One reason mastodon.art grew big I think is it declares its intent in the domain.
