    The point is more federation, not less. Decentralizing prevents any big rifts in the fediverse from fracturing the community.

      considering this and @[email protected]'s comment, could it incentivize certain types of prospective Admins to create community only instances, increasing attraction of more users to lemmy overall but disproportionally burden the user management workload on the traditional user+community instances?

      Either way the content will go onto their server because of federation. It eliminates some workload from those admins if the small instance is actively modderating.

        I'm not sure if that has changed. I navigated to dull mens club with my account on the new instance. It automatically put dull mens club on my frontpage without me subscribing to it and a bunch of instances showed up as federated.

        Only a single person on the instance needs to subscribe, then the instance with the community knows about it and will start pushing the content to that instance.

        You're on Lemmy.world, so it wouldn't take long for someone to subscribe (if you're the first person, just looking also pulls a handful of posts, but no further updates until someone subscribes).

            if an instance has no users and only communities, then it's less likely to be defederated by anyone, and easier to manage

            I do the same thing (also because I don't want to pay for tons of storage space lol) https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

            Can confirm, I host a very small instance with a few niche communities. Many subscribers, I don't know of any defeds against me though. Plus it's how I expect the fediverse to really grow naturally. Join a general one but then smaller instances of more niche topics. Kudos OP!

              I created [email protected] a few months ago and then started seeing contraversies around moderation policies and federation that just don't apply to the type of content on dull mens club so I decided to make an instance solely to host that community.

              [email protected]

              I'm not sure if this has happened yet, but I like the idea of having a neutral instance that users can still visit regardless of what happens.
              There's no user signups, only admin/moderator accounts. Users have to use an account from a federated instance.

              I have more than 15 topic-specific instances, and we are in absolute agreement about why this is the best arrangement for group federation.

              Also, thank you very much for leading by example. Lets hope the bigger instances also see the value in the initiative.

                Might be talking about https://lemmy-federate.com/?

                You can add the community, and the other instances that have signed up will have their follower account subscribe to your new community. Communities are only federated to instances that have at least one subscriber to the community, so it won't show in All on instances with no subscribers to your community. That website is a way to help get around that.

                Yeah, this is what I am refering to. Wasn't sure how to properly describe it. 🙂

                    This is great. Dull men's club is a great community and it doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the rest of .world.

                      .world has come under a lot of fire for being centrist and having anti-violence policies. 196 actually moved from blahaj to world, and most of the users said they wouldn't be going with it, because they don't agree with the aforementioned policies.
