I made an account on lemm.ee, but it seems that no one uses it, even though it's recommended by join-lemmy.org .

It does not matter how many people are on your instance. The only things that matter are that your instance hasn't been defederated from other instances with communities you'd want to participate in, that it is kept up to date and online, and that your instance owner/operators stay on top of moderation. I've not heard of any problems along these lines with lemm.ee

Well, user base could have impact chances that instance will be supported for a long time in a good way.

On top of that, in your "all" feed you only see communities which users from your instance subscribe. Smaller instance - emptier this list. This is a discoverability.

I'm not sure I entirely agree. The more popular your instance is, the more content you're likely to get on /all

No, you get more content on /local, but the same content as any other instance on /all (assuming your instance isn't defederated from other big instances).

You have a fair point, but as of now I think being federated with beehaw, lemmy.world and lemmy.ml and a few others is enough to get some good content.

But you only get communities from them in all if someone has already subscribed to each specific one. You don't get all the communities from the instance automatically.

This is true but every day more communities are subscribed to by someone.

Well, at least I have compared c/all from my Lemmy.world account with my lemmy.ee account and I can't find any noticeable differences, if any here we have beehaw content.
