Most of the communities are on one instance i.e .ml. Should we spin up more instances and start spreading communities either by location, interests, etc? Maybe, I am wrong but do mod/s who run the communities understand the idea of “decentralized social networks” or this is just to get few brownie points to start the community and increase the traffic? Please correct me if I am wrong.
No offence, just an observation.
Kind of disagree with this. Its an effective approach for one target audience, but wont work at all for other audiences. The cool thing is that thanks to federation, there can be many instances with completely different approaches (like lemmy.ml vs wolfballs.com), each with a completely different approach. In the end, all of us will benefit from a more active network.
