What caused users to sign up to specifically lemmy.ml, instead of other servers? I am aware a lot of users signed up after the spez AMA, but even before the AMA the site was overloaded.

If your instance shuts down, you won’t be able to interact, your existing content will be in a limbo of pre-shutdown instances knowing about them and post-shutdown ones not. I assume a similar limbo will happen to the communities hosted on your instance, but I’m not entirely sure on what specifically will happen.
Sounds like something that will have to be addressed. Thus is definitely a reason to have an account with a large, established instance.
