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.
More instances for sure. I think country/language specific instances are an easy and nice way to bring more decentralization and content to the network. Then, domain specific instances like for music, cinema/TV, sports, games, etc would be really nice to have.
I already run lemmy.pt, but it is pretty small still (and I’m not expecting it to grow a whole lot soon) and so I’d be down to hosting another instance. However, I suppose one person hosting multiple instances kinda goes against the point of decentralization. :/
