That requires many Fediverse servers each having a small number of users, hosting data in physically decentralized manner. That's the ideal, a perfect image. -![Illustration of many small interconnected stars](https://fediverse.party/en/post/fediverse-in-2019/ideal.jpg) +![Illustration of many small interconnected stars](/en/post/fediverse-in-2019/ideal.jpg) But in real world most people register on large Fediverse servers with thousands of users: they're popular, more stable and reliable, their friends are there.
