Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

No. You 'can' log in to each individual server if you want, but, because Lemmy is Federated you don't need to. Pick a home-base and you can interact with all the others (that aren't defederated). (Edit: tip - choose an instance that shares your interests for your home-base. It may make things more comfortable for you in the future.)

In practice, this means instead of clicking another instance you just Search:All and subscribe to what ever Lemmy communities you're interested in. Annoyingly this can mean duplicate communities (think r/cute, r/aww, r/pics, r/pictures, r/awwnopitbulls, r/awwcute....) but this downside is easily tolerated. Post and comment on other federated communities as you wish.
