I could see Google integrating with the fediverse once it reaches critical mass. Using ActivityPub for indexing ought to be more efficient than the usual web crawling.

Markdown is pretty 'dumb' in that it simply uses regular expressions to detect markdown tags/structures and then translates them into corresponding html elements. So when it sees subsequent lines each starting with a '{number}{dot}{space}' it determines that it's supposed to be a numbered list, so it translates that to an html ordered list. The numbers in an ordered list are not there if you look at a page source, they're only being rendered by your browser starting with '1' by default.
With all that being said, HTML5 supports overriding default values in an ordered list, so with additional logic in the markdown parser having numbers out of order could be done.
It's not exactly something that you can force. If X amount of users want to join an instance Y, the instance should be able to provide capabilities to host those users. Besides, horizontal scaling provides other benefits, stability is the main one - if one server instance goes down, others can immediately pick up the slack.
Relay still works for some reason
