It’s the number of users logging in and hitting those servers that’s the main issue. 44,000 users is a lot for one instance to be pushing content to. I wouldn’t say it’s just aggregating Lemmy content either though, there are plenty of popular communities on kbin as well, including this one.
Knob is mainly just aggregating Lemmy and Mastodon. So it does not need so many servers. Lemmy has surpassed 1000 servers a few days ago.
We will get there.

Plenty of magazines and content over here on Kbin, it’s certainly not just an aggregator.
