Devs have not really responded to this properly yet.
They did however mention the server issues and it being a miracle that
uploading discoveries are even working at all with the load they are getting.
From older videos/interviews a player is supposed to have an invisible lobby
around him like a bubble and when players enters a bubble they join the same
"lobby".
Or something like that.
Could just be "matchmaking" falling over... or it could be by design.
Not sure yet.
Should hopefully be made clear before the PC release on friday.

You guys remember when the No Man's Sky said that it would be virtually
impossible to run into another player in Multi Player mode?
Well, now we know what they meant:
