Lemmygrad is blocked from federating with most other instances but still is a pretty large instance. Though that instance in particular is not very likely to look towards IPO.

It could happen if there was a very popular instance that didn’t federate with others.

Because lemmygrad is pretty huge and other instances don’t want their new users to be met with a flood of tankie content, most instances are blocking lemmygrad.
