That’s the idea longterm. There just wasn’t that much interest in integrating all the different platforms until recently. Each fediverse platform was a niche one oriented around small groups.
For those admins still wondering take a look at how Mastodon did with the user explosion last year. I doubt the stack is that similar but I don’t remember lots of instances going offline forever due to space constraints (alone). Some may have gone done to overall lack of resources but many are doing quite well.
