Short answer: Go for a server with fewer than 10,000 members.

Long answer: It's not so much about numbers as percentage of the network. If everyone is on a small group of giant servers that will cause severe problems now and in the long term.

So, if you look at the numbers currently on joinmastodon.org/servers (in the top right corner of each server's info box), try to go for servers at the smaller end of the scale.

@feditips @ricardoramos also, most of the users being registered on 3 huge servers in a universe of 1200 instances does not really align with the effort of decentralization that's at the core of the Fediverse and the Open Internet.

@feditips @ricardoramos I primarily joined an 8k server. They are having to do upgrades several times throughout the day yesterday. Are you sure the bigger instances aren't better placed to cope with the influx?
