I think people just have to make informed desicions on what servers they pick.
Using small servers run on a raspberry pi in a shed by a single person is fine if you are that person. But if that is not your server you’re better off picking a more established server that has a more proven presence.
This problem can be solved by education.
Using the email comparison, most people would pick a provider with good reputation (hotmail, gmail, protonmail). There are plenty of shite servers out there, I’m sure. But noone picks them.
E-Mail is now completely controlled by Microsoft and Google.
Cause if they don’t accept your mail, your mail server is useless.
Same here: It’s safest on lemmy.world, so everyone will go there.
Which is the complete opposite of the fediverse idea.

There are other reliable servers with big history, like sh.itjust.works, lemmy.blahaj.zone, lemmy.ca, lemmy.today, etc.
Besides, when you move to Fediverse, you already embrace impermanence.
