    Counterpoint to this is that you may be in a dead instance that doesn’t do updates or get maintained properly. You might sign on one day to find that you can’t load any posts because the server is down or overloaded.

      If an instance has multiple hundred active users, i doubt its going anywhere anytime soon. You can also just contact the admin of any server and ask how they fund it and what their future plans are. The “first seen” column also quickly gives you an idea of how long standing the server is.
